A 40-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly raping a student for the past three years.
Innocent Mapuranga allegedly started raping the 15-year-old Form 3 girl when she was in Grade 7.
The shameless act came to light when the girl refused to return to school in Honde Valley, where Mapuranga stays.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the arrest and urged parents to closely monitor their children’s behaviour.
“Police are investigating a case involving a man reported to have been raping a Form 3 student at a Honde Valley school,” said Insp Chakanza.
“The juvenile and accused person are not related, but stay in the same neighbourhood in Eastview.
“They have all been staying in the same neighbourhood since 2016.
