Concealing birth is a serious criminal offence,” he said.
Community members in both suburbs expressed shock, with some calling for more awareness on reproductive health and support for the vulnerable.
Section 67 of the Zimbabwe Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act [Chapter 9:23] makes concealing birth a criminal offence.
The law applies when a person disposes of the body of a child in a manner intended to hide the fact of its birth, regardless of whether the child was born alive or dead.
Conviction can result in a fine or imprisonment for up to five years, depending on the circumstances.
Meanwhile, the Police are investigating a case of theft and malicious damage to property which occurred on August 10, 2025, at Plot 9, Rangemore, Bulawayo.
Commissioner Nyathi said three unknown suspects who were driving a silver Toyota Noah allegedly vandalised the complainant’s Honda Civic after having been involved in road rage.
He said the suspects fired shots in the air with an unidentified pistol before removing the battery from the complainant’s vehicle and speeding off.
