A heartbreaking incident has cast a shadow over Harare as 9-year-old Anotidaishe Muramba tr@gically passed away following what appeared to be a harmless moment of play at school.
Anotidaishe d!ed on December 2, 2024, at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, leaving his family and the local community in deep sorrow.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has announced an investigation into the details surrounding his untimely d3ath.
In a poignant message shared via Twitter, the ZRP provided a brief account of the events leading up to the tr@gedy:
“Police in Harare are probing the circumstances surrounding the demise of Anotidaishe Muramba (9), who d!ed while receiving treatment at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals on 02/12/24.
“On 29/11/24, the victim reportedly informed his father that he had been pushed by classmates during playtime, and he was experiencing back pain.”
Initially, the complaint seemed minor—a simple ache from a day of activities at school.
However, as time passed, the condition deteriorated, leading to a devastating outcome that no family should have to face.
At this stage, authorities have not ascertained whether the incident was accidental or if more details will be revealed during the ongoing investigation.
The inquiry is still in its early stages, and the ZRP has called for public patience as they work to uncover the truth.
While the specific school involved has not been named in the police statement, reports suggest that it is fully cooperating with the investigation.
In the interim, social media is flooded with expressions of sympathy and demands for clarity regarding the circumstances of this tr@gic event.
