By A Correspondent- A Harare gogo has opened up narrating how she unearthed that her 4year old grand daughter was raped by her uncle and how the mother of the minor tried to conceal the rape.

Below is the full text of the revelation:

It was in July 2019 I had my 4 year old grand daughter on my back, and she suddenly became frightened then quickly told me, “Alvin made me lick his thing.”

Then I asked her, “Did you say “a thing”?

Then after that Alvin was passing by the roadside and as soon as she saw him she screamed at him saying, “Alvin you made me lick your thing inside your spare bedroom”.

Then Alvin replied saying,”You will get me in trouble, you will get me beaten up”. And then my granddaughter replied insisting: “Yes you made me lick your thing”.

And then I told her, “Calm down my daughter you will tell your mother when she returns.”

The mother then arrived to collect the baby with a vehicle from the crèche because her (my grand daughter’s) mother works at the crèche.

In the evening, I asked her if she had communicated with her mother and she said her mother did not say anything. So now I had to turn to my own son. I told him what his daughter had said to me in the morning and he said let me wait for my wife to come back.

Then when the child’s mother returned, she said let me talk to my mother who is also Alvin’s mother.

It is reported that he apologised saying sorry mama. So now after that I said let me take my granddaughter to be seen by a doctor because my fear was that she could have been forced to drink sperm fluids.

At that time, I didn’t think that she had been raped.

At that point the mother refused to go to the doctor. I said since the mother had refused to go to the doctor, let us go to the police.

At the police station, they asked us to bring the child so that she could be medically examined by the doctor. They told us to bring her because she could have suffered more than what we knew. They said maybe it was not just the sucking ordeal because she could have been raped.

We then told the mother and she went with the child to the police station and she was given a letter to take to the doctor and she was told that the results would be obtained from the police.

The mother went to the police on her own. She did not go with the husband. She was given the results and returned and they communicated between themselves. The child’s father asked for the report and the mother said that nothing had happened to the child.

The father updated us, so after that I went to the police, and the police told me, “Gogo, we wanted to tell you that your  grand- daughter was not only made to suck someone’s thing, she was gored into, she was literally raped”.

This really shook me. I want to tell you my family I cried and cried, a 4-year old child being literally raped, and then the mother refuses to speak.

They asked me to stop crying and said the following morning they were going to the social welfare office. The child’s mother and the boy’s mum got frightened when she discovered that we now knew the truth.

They said that at the social welfare we would be told when to go to court. Then after that the case was delayed and I returned to the police station. A police officer there then told me that the cop who was handling my granddaughter’s case was on annual leave.

So I was told that I would be updated the following week. When he returned the following week, I was told that he had walked out of the office and it was not clear where he had gone.

The case finally went into court but they said my 4 year old grand daughter had failed to narrate what really happened to her. They said that they expected her to testify and narrate everything that happened to her.

Some of the words that she was expected to say are not known to her.. She is still a minor who cannot explicitly pronounce the name of a male organ hence she said “thing”.

They said when she attended court in the victim friendly unit, that is when she said what happened to her, she told them what had transpired. But when they asked her again she refused to speak… i am not sure why but she is just but a minor, 4 years.

At court, you could see that something was happening. I think they connived to throw the case out.

Please help me to get justice for my granddaughter who was violated. I am hurting inside. The boy who raped my grand daughter is walking outside scot free. The other challenge is that this child is still staying at that same house with the rapist. I fear for her safety. Please help me what should I do to get justice.”
