The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed the arrest of five girls for unclothing and assaulting a young girl in a viral video.
The Unsettling Incident
In the video, one of the women assaulting the victim can be heard asking, “Ndainzwa dzungu here pawaindirova?”
The victim was on the ground after being stripped of all her clothes. One was recording the assault while others jeered. A group of approximately five women, clad in school uniforms, took turns hitting her. Her body was filthy from rolling and bloody from the lashes.
The victim initially pleaded with her assailants to avoid hitting her head. The first girl responded by acknowledging the mistake of hitting her head but continued the assault.
As the other women join in, the victim cries out that her hand is hurt. The first woman accuses her of lying, insisting that a sprained hand wouldn’t cover other body parts during a beating.
In a third plea, the victim begs for a 10-minute break due to her pain. The assailants laugh at her, and another woman is heard shouting, “Uraya.”

The video caused an uproar online, with people calling for the five’s arrest. The ZRP responded and acknowledged seeing the video. They asked the victim to make a report and for anyone with information on the incident to come forward.
The police have since arrested the five Wedza girls: Vimbai Mike (19), Rudo Manjere (17), Lilly Rose Munyoro (16), Lillian Chido Munyoro (16), and Sandra Vhumbunu (17). The five, nabbed yesterday, are facing aggravated indecent assault charges.

The suspects locked the victim in one of the huts and stripped her n_ked.
“The five suspects took turns to assault the victim with switches and went on to insert three sticks into the victim’s private parts whilst recording a video. The victim fell unconscious, and the suspects poured water on her before freeing her naked at 1500hrs.”
Vimbai Mike is in police custody, while the other four are in the custody of their parents since they are juveniles.
