The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has warned people not to engage in online dating with strangers.

These virtual spaces allow people to connect with potential partners from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating geographical barriers and making it easier to meet new people.

However, online dating carries inherent risks. Besides the potential for users to misrepresent themselves in their profiles, meeting strangers met through digital means can be dangerous, as evidenced by the harrowing incident involving the woman from Dzivarasekwa.
