A tragic incident unfolded at Nketa High School in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where a Form Four student took her own l!fe after facing rejection from her boyfriend concerning her pregnancy.
She was laid to rest in a
sombre ceremony attended by friends, family, and community members on Monday,
July 22.
The student, who had been
dating an Upper-six student at the same school, reportedly sought support from
her boyfriend after discovering she was pregnant. The boyfriend’s refusal to
accept responsibility for the pregnancy caused her significant emotional distress,
contributing to her decision to take her own l!fe.
On July 12, the girl visited
her boyfriend’s home but was later found by her aunt and brought back to their
residence. It is believed that she had attempted to discuss the situation with
her boyfriend again, only to be met with continued rejection. This further
intensified her despair.
Despite her aunt’s efforts to
support her, the student tragically ended her life.
Assistant Inspector Nomalanga
Msebele confirmed the incident, though initial police reports did not mention
the pregnancy.
According to the police, the
girl had left home under the guise of attending extra lessons and was later
seen entering her boyfriend’s residence. Concerned about her absence, her aunt
discovered her hang!ng from a guava tree in their yard. Emergency services
arrived promptly, but she was pronounced de@d at the scene.
