Two Zimbabwean male students – both aged 16 – have been arraigned in court to stand trial for allegedly gang-raping their 17-year-old schoolmate and recording the act on video, causing widespread outrage across Zimbabwe.
The suspects who are both learners from Masasi High School in Marange, Manicaland Province, appeared in Court on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
According to prosecutors, the pair committed the sexual assault which was filmed and widely circulated on social media.
Prosecutors succeeded in opposing bail for the two, with the argument that the seriousness of the offence, coupled with public condemnation, warranted the suspects’ continued detention.
The suspects were remanded into custody and are to reappear in court on October 14 for further proceedings.
