Harare motorists sodomising street boys
The government is worried by a number of cases that have been reported indicating that some Harare motorists are sodomising street boys in their cars.
Harare Provincial coordinator Tafadzwa Muguti said his office is concerned about the cases and they are making plans to offer accommodation to the kids that are now falling prey to some motorists.
“We also express displeasure and concern from reports that are coming through the provincial social welfare officer that there are some motorists who are now picking up these street children especially boys and abusing them in their cars, homes and secluded places,” Tafadzwa Muguti said.
“This is truly sad and unacceptable in this new dispensation. We urge the public and the victims of such abuse to report these activities to the nearest police station or reach out to the social welfare offices in Harare.”
He also said his office is equally concerned by a number of girls that are making reports of being abused by Harare motorists.
“Many complaints have arisen of abuse of substances such as glue and dagga, gang rape of young girls whilst the boys are being sodomised, stealing from parked vehicles, harassing pedestrians and snatching food from people,” he said.
Muguti said the government is working on a project to round up and accommodate street kids and adults and to take them off the streets according to New Zimbabwe
“The government, working with strategic social development partners and local authorities, has now established safe homes for people living on the streets,” he said.
“These (homes) include Ruwa Rehabilitation Centre, Mt Hampden Youth Training Centre, Northcot Training Institution, Jamaica Inn and Beatrice Rehabilitation Centre to name a few.
“This exercise to round up all children and adults living on the streets has now commenced and we urge the public to be supportive of this exercise and report any children or adults who might need to be relocated to these safe homes.”
