Farai Dziva|The four-year-old girl who was kidnapped by unknown assailants has been found.

This was announced by former Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation radio and television presenter Ezra Thsisa Sibanda.

See full statement below :

The 4 year old girl snatched from her house in Emganwini, Bulawayo on the 30th of October 2019 has been found well and alive in Tsholotsho.

Working with the family we unleashed a wave of searches using social media, amazing Chronicle Newspaper helped by carrying out the story and local radio presenters all sent alert messages. Im deeply humbled by their support and thank all of them from the bottom of my heart.

I sent alert messages to to all the borders and contacted police forces everywhere in Zimbabwe and it worked.

It was a collective effort from everybody and its clear when people work together, we can solve crime.

Emganwini Police were not eager to take up the case, let alone investigate but only interrogated the parents and did nothing. We contacted Police Chiefs in Bulawayo, Matabeleland North and South.

3 Officers under Lupane-Tsholotsho, namely, Constable Nyoni, Sergeant Sibanda & Constable Mpofu took up the case.

Late Friday afternoon they found the woman who stole the child, recovered the young girl but the woman ran away. She was finally caught this afternoon and remains in police custody.

Once again thank you so much for your prayers.

The big job is to help the child with proper checks from doctors, counselling and integrating her back to the same place where she was snatched.

The mother has arrived in Tsholotsho and united with her daughter. They are heading back to Bulawayo tonite. Im so relieved and excited. God is great!!!
