Parts of the decomposing body of Stella Mushangidze Chidzenga, a Chitungwiza teacher who went missing during the second term school holiday, were recently found in Gutu, Masvingo Province.
According to <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/body-parts-of-a-teacher-who-has-been-missing-since-august-found/">H-Metro</a>, Chidzenga had been missing since August this year, and a “Missing Person” flyer circulated on various WhatsApp groups.
A man claiming to be the deceased’s uncle reported her death, which appears to be linked to a ritual murder.
Chidzenga was a Grade 2 teacher at Shingayi Government Primary School in St Mary’s, Chitungwiza.
She lived in Ushewokunze with her two children, a daughter in her early 20s and a son in Grade 6.
It is alleged that Chidzenga left home to seek medical attention in Harare and called one of her children to wait for her at a bus stop, but she never returned.
A young herdboy in Gutu discovered the decomposing body and alerted his father, who then informed neighbours and the local headman.
The body was then covered with tree branches while a police report was filed at Gutu.
However, when police officers visited the scene, they could not find the body where it had been left, according to the uncle.
When they resumed the search the following day, the body was recovered some metres from the place where it had been seen the previous day.
Clothing items, including a dress, slip-ons, a handbag, a wallet, and a mobile phone, were discovered at the scene.
The phone had a contact labelled “Daddy,” which they called to get in touch with Chidzenga’s father in Bluffhill.
Family members returned to Harare to make funeral arrangements, while authorities were yet to determine where the postmortem would be conducted.
Chidzenga was a graduate of Morgan Zintec College in Harare and was known to be a devout member of the Anglican Church, as shown by her Facebook messages.

Decomposing Body Of Missing Chitungwiza Teacher Found In Gutu

A businessman from Headlands, Manicaland Province, John Madondo, who operates shops at Eagle Nest area, is accused of hiring a hitman to kill a person and bring to him the head to perform money-making rituals.
As reported by <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/businessman-hires-hitman-to-kill-child/">The Manica Post</a>, the allegations emerged during the trial of Tatenda Mudziwedare (20) of Village 5B, Sherenje who pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to murder a seven-year-old Grade One learner on the alleged instruction of Madondo.
Madondo is reported to be in South Africa and was allegedly communicating with Mudziwedare over the phone, giving him instructions.
Mudziwedare was not represented when he appeared before Rusape regional magistrate, Francis Mapfumo.
He pleaded guilty to violating Section 187 as read with Section 47 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act which criminalises attempts to kill a person. The charge sheet reads:
<blockquote>
Tatenda Mudziwedare is charged with the crime of attempted murder as defined in Section 187, as read with Section 47 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, Chapter 9.23 in that on February 28, 2024, and at Sherenje Business Centre, Headlands, he (Tatenda Mudziwedare) attempted to cause the death of Alvin Kambadza by squeezing his neck with both hands after having been instructed by a businessman, John Madondo, to bring a human head for rituals.
</blockquote>
Mapfumo convicted Mudziwedare of the offence and was expected to sentence him yesterday (Thursday).
Tawanda Munjanja, representing the state, said Mudziwedare tried to kill the boy by strangling his neck, and only aborted the mission after he saw some villagers approaching. Said Munjanja:
<blockquote>
The complainant is a Grade One learner. On February 28, 2024, at around 7 am, Mudziwedare was at Sherenje Business Centre when he saw the complainant and other learners going to Sherenje Primary School.
Mudziwedare chased the learners and managed to grab the complainant. He squeezed the complainant on the neck using both hands.
The accused person saw some local villagers at a distance and let go of the complainant.
The matter came to light when the complainant reported what happened to his mother.
</blockquote>
Ritual killings are common in Zimbabwe, and the murderers usually target defenceless children.
Some witch doctors and traditional healers in Zimbabwe propagate the notion that the blood of young children is pure and can bring blessings and good luck.
These beliefs lead desperate individuals to commit heinous acts, believing that body parts from children can be used in rituals to create wealth.
One of the high-profile ritual murders in recent years was that of Tapiwa Makore, a seven-year-old boy from Murehwa, Mashonaland East province.
Tapiwa’s murder in September 2020 shocked the nation and sparked widespread outrage.
Two individuals, Tafadzwa Shamba and Tapiwa Makore Senior, were sentenced to death for their involvement in Tapiwa’s gruesome ritual murder.

Headlands Businessman Allegedly Hires Hitman To Kill Grade One Learner For Rituals

Chief Weight Gwesela of Zhombe said that Rio Tinto High School teacher Fanuel Mwale (57), was most likely killed for ritual purposes.
Mwale’s body was found with missing eyes, ears and nose, and his head was skinned with a sharp object, according to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP). Police said:
<blockquote>
Police in Kwekwe are appealing for information which may assist in the investigation of a case of murder in which a teacher at Rio Tinto High School, Zhombe, Fanuel Mwale (57) was found dead on 19/01/24 along an unnamed gravel road near Joel Business Centre.
The body was found with missing eyes, ears and nose. The head was skinned with an unknown sharp object.
The victim was last seen on 18/01/24 at around 1600 hours after knocking off duty.
Anyone with information to report at any nearest Police Station.
</blockquote>
Chief Gwesela told the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/grisly-murder-teacher-killed-face-skinned-eyes-and-ears-cut-off/">Chronicle</a> that there is a strong suspicion that the murder was ritualistic. He said:
<blockquote>
This is unheard of, we have never witnessed such a thing in this community. We can only suspect that this was for ritual purposes.
</blockquote>
A ritual murder refers to the intentional act of taking a person’s life as part of a religious, spiritual, or ceremonial practice.
In Zimbabwe, one of the high-profile ritual killings was that of Tapiwa Makore who was murdered by his uncle and his herdsman to boost a cabbage business.

Zhombe Teacher Killed, Face Skinned, Eyes And Ears Cut Off

High Court judge Justice Munamato Mutevedzi on Wednesday, 12 July sentenced <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Tapiwa_Makore">Tapiwa Makore’s</a> killers to death, reported <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/breaking-news-tapiwa-makore-killers-sentenced-to-death/">H-Metro</a>.
Tafadzwa Shamba was last month convicted of murder while the boy’s uncle and namesake, Tapiwa Makore was found guilty of being an accomplice.
Justice Mutevedzi ordered that both Shamba and Makore are to be returned to custody, and death sentences will be initiated on them.
During the trial, it was established that the duo killed and mutilated the then seven-year-old boy to boost Tapiwa Snr’s cabbage business.
Tapiwa was a Grade One learner at Nyamutumbu Primary School and his teacher, Keresia Makamure, described him as an intelligent, obedient child whose future was bright.
The boy was sent by his parents to look after the garden on the morning of 17 September 2020.
Later that day, Tapiwa’s parents went to the garden to do some watering and found that their son was missing.
His parents and some villagers started searching for him and the search was conducted until midnight but they could not find him.
On the following day, 18 September, in the morning, a neighbour reportedly woke up and discovered his dog and its puppies feasting on human body parts in his yard.
He then informed Tapiwa’s parents and a report was made to the police. The body’s head was missing.
Several arrests people were arrested in connection with the murder, including Thanks Makore, Tapiwa’s uncle amid allegations that he was given the boy’s head and arms.
Thanks was said to be a twin brother of Tapiwa Makore Snr, and a cousin of Munyaradzi Makore, Tapiwa Makore Jnr’s father.
On 13 October 2022, Justice Mutevedzi formally acquitted Thanks Makore and another suspect Moud Hunidzarira of the murder of Tapiwa Makore Jnr at the close of the prosecution case.
Hunidzarira of Budiriro, Harare, was arrested during the weekend of 31 October and 01 November 2020 following a tip-off by the public.
It was alleged that she was in Murewa when the murder occurred and a few days later was seen by some neighbours in Harare, cleaning an item that had blood.
However, the State withdrew the charges against the two for lack of incriminating evidence.
Meanwhile, the Government is considering abolishing the death penalty. The Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs conducted nationwide consultations with the public and various stakeholders on a proposed move to abolish the death penalty.

Tapiwa Makore's Killers Sentenced To Death

The man convicted of killing seven-year-old <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Tapiwa_Makore">Tapiwa Makore</a> in September 2020, will be sentenced today (Wednesday) by the High Court.
Last month High Court judge Munamato Mutevedzi found Tafadzwa Shamba guilty of the murder of Tapiwa.
The boy’s uncle and namesake Tapiwa Makore, was found guilty of being an accomplice after he provided his house for the commissioning of the crime.
The court found insufficient evidence to convict Tapiwa Makore Senior of the murder itself.
Shamba confessed to the murder and this statement was confirmed by a magistrate and accepted by the High Court.
He told the court that they killed the Tapiwa with the intention of selling his body parts to a witch doctor for US$1 500.
Tapiwa’s body parts were found in different places but his head is yet to be located.

Tapiwa Makore's Killer To Be Sentenced Today

Munyaradzi Makore, the father of the then 7-year-old Murehwa boy, Tapiwa Makore, who was murdered by his uncle and namesake, and his herdsman, on 17 September 2020, says he is still in pain.
Tapiwa’s remains were buried six months after his callous murder without his head, which is yet to be located.
Munyaradzi said the issue has also affected the unity of the family since it was done by family members. He said:
<blockquote>
Yes, justice prevailed (after two relatives were found guilty of killing him), but I was hoping to know the whereabouts of the head.
It is something that continues to eat me up that I buried my son without his head and up to now I do not know its whereabouts.
I will only leave this to God, but I am in pain.
</blockquote>
Tapiwa’s uncle, Tapiwa Makore Sr and his herdsman, Tafadzwa Shamba were both found guilty of the boy’s murder by High Court judge Justice Mutevedzi on Thursday, 29 June.
When Tafadzwa Shamba first appeared before a Murehwa magistrate, he narrated how he gruesomely murdered the boy.
He, however, later retracted his statement, saying the Police tricked him to make indications implicating Tapiwa Makore Senior as his accomplice.
But in his ruling, Justice Mutevedzi said Shamba confessed to the murder and described in detail how it was done. He ruled:
<blockquote>
Shamba is guilty beyond reasonable doubt as required by the law. Shamba be and is hereby found guilty for the murder of Tapiwa while Makore Snr is found guilty for the murder of Tapiwa as an accomplice.
The court is satisfied that the statement by Shamba was acceptable and confirms that he committed the offence.
He explained in graphic detail. That detail elaborates his intimate details regarding commission of the crime.
The first accused (Shamba’s) situation is compounded by other issues.
He did not only confess, he made indications, he pointed to a house the boy was detained, the container which was containing the illicit brew was also found in the same house…
Accused one (Shamba’s) fate is sealed by the fact that body parts were found through his confession.
The victim was detained in his house. He supplied alcohol which was used to drug the victim.
The question which arises is if he supplied means for Shamba to commit this offence. The child was locked in his house for long hours, in fact for around 8 hrs.
It is unimaginable that he wouldn’t have noticed the presence of the boy in his house.
</blockquote>
Tapiwa’s mother,  Linda Munyori, said that while scars from her son’s murder may never fully fade, at least justice had been served.
The sentencing of the duo is scheduled for 12 July 2023.

Tapiwa Makore's Father Says He Hoped Killers Would Reveal The Whereabouts Of Boy's Head

The High Court is set to deliver judgement on <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Tapiwa_Makore">Tapiwa Makore’s</a> suspected killers on Thursday, reported ZBC News.
Justice Munamato Mutevedzi, who presided over the trial, is expected to hand down the long-awaited judgment, bringing the matter to finality.
The prime suspect in the matter, Tafadzwa Shamba and his accomplice, the late boy’s uncle and namesake, Tapiwa Makore Senior, allegedly killed the boy in 2020 for ritual purposes.
They allegedly killed and mutilated the then seven-year-old boy to boost Tapiwa Snr’s cabbage business.
Tapiwa was a Grade One learner at Nyamutumbu Primary School and his teacher, Keresia Makamure, described him as an intelligent, obedient child whose future was bright.
The boy was sent by his parents to look after the garden on the morning of 17 September 2020.
Later that day, Tapiwa’s parents went to the garden to do some watering and found that their son was missing.
His parents and some villagers started searching for him and the search was conducted until midnight but they could not find him.
On the following day, 18 September, in the morning, a neighbour reportedly woke up and discovered his dog and its puppies feasting on human body parts in his yard.
He then informed Tapiwa’s parents and a report was made to the police. The body’s head was missing.
Several arrests people were arrested in connection with the murder, including Thanks Makore, Tapiwa’s uncle amid allegations that he was given the boy’s head and arms.
Thanks was said to be a twin brother of Tapiwa Makore Snr, and a cousin of Munyaradzi Makore, Tapiwa Makore Jnr’s father.
On 13 October 2022, Justice Mutevedzi formally acquitted Thanks Makore and another suspect Moud Hunidzarira of the murder of Tapiwa Makore Jnr at the close of the prosecution case.
Hunidzarira of Budiriro, Harare, was arrested during the weekend of 31 October and 01 November 2020 following a tip-off by the public.
It was alleged that she was in Murewa when the murder occurred and a few days later was seen by some neighbours in Harare, cleaning an item that had blood.
However, the State withdrew the charges against the two for lack of incriminating evidence.
As the charges were withdrawn after plea, the two can never be retried using any of the evidence led during their trial.

High Court To Deliver Ruling On Tapiwa Makore's Alleged Killers On 29 June

The husband of Budiriro 4 Primary School ECD teacher, Magdalene Mandiveyi, who was found dead on Friday after she had been reported missing, said his life will never be the same again following her mysterious death.
Mandiveyi (38) was found dead in a maize field in Aspindale on Friday.
Her husband, David Mupanganyemba (45), told H-Metro that on the day Magdalene went missing, she left home early for work while he and their three-month-old baby were still asleep. Said Mupanganyemba:
<blockquote>
She left home on Monday for work and left me asleep since I was off duty.
Handitombozivi kuti musi wacho akabuda mumba akapfeka zvakaitasei. I expected her during lunchtime to breastfeed the baby, but she never came. I called her cellphone number, but it was unreachable.
I sent someone to look for her at the school and that is when we learned that she had not reported for duty and began to wonder what had happened to her.
One of the senior teachers told us that Magdalene had phoned earlier in the morning saying she would report late for work.
She told the senior teacher that she wanted to nurse the baby since our maid had not returned from her off.
After informing my in-laws about this, we joined the search party, only to be called to Marimba Police Station on Friday to identify a body they had found.
I went and identified the body as my wife. My life will never be the same without her.
</blockquote>
Mupanganyemba, who described his wife as “a very quiet and supportive woman”, said she had not complained about anything nor showed any signs of distress in the days leading up to her disappearance and subsequent death.
A Budiriro 4 Primary student who boarded the same kombi with Magdalene in the morning she disappeared allegedly told a senior teacher at the school that the driver ignored their calls to be dropped off at their usual point.
The girl said the driver of the kombi later stopped and allowed her to alight while Magdalene remained seated.
Some mourners, including teachers from Budiriro 4 Primary, said they suspected Magdalene could have been killed for ritual purposes. Said a mourner:
<blockquote>
It was raining the whole week, but her body had no mud whatsoever. She could have been killed elsewhere and dumped in the field.
</blockquote>
Magdalene completed her teaching studies at Nyadire Teachers’ College in 2015 and joined the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education the following year.
She first taught at Stratford Primary School in Banket before moving to Royden Primary School near Whitehouse along the Harare-Bulawayo Road.
Magdalene then taught at David Livingstone Primary School before being transferred to Budiriro 4 Primary.
She is survived by her husband David and four children. | <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/ritual-murder-suspected-in-teachers-death/">H-Metro</a>
