The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has launched an investigation into a deeply troubling case of child abus3 following the circulation of a sh0cking video.
The footage, shared on social media, shows two young boys being violently beaten by a man clad in blue trousers.
In the video, the man instructs the boys to strip so he can punish them, to which one of the boys responds that he isn’t wearing any underwear.
The man callously dismisses this concern, continuing the @ss@ult.

The h0rrific scene unfolds in front of onlookers, with some adults encouraging the v!olence.
A pregnant woman is also seen joining the @tt@ck, striking the boys on the head with a small log until another woman intervenes to restrain her, despite her eagerness to return to the @ss@ult.
Reports indicate that the individuals involved in the @tt@ck are neighbors of the boys’ mother.
One of the minors is reportedly unable to walk and needs medical care as a result of the beatings.
In response to the appalling incident, the police issued a statement on X, addressing the public’s concerns:
“We acknowledge the disturbing video circulating on social media, which shows a man in blue trousers viciously @ss@ulting two minors, an act that is further intensified by the involvement of a woman. The suspects have been identified, and investigations are underway to ensure justice is served without bias. This incident took place in the Madziwa area of Mashonaland Central Province.”
