Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A woman from Shamva<\/b> has been arrested for killing her daughter after beating her for using mealie-meal and cooking oil in pretend play known as mahumbwe in Shona or ukudlala in Ndebele.<\/p>\n

According to a police statement seen by Pindula News, the 35-year-old woman used a switch to hit her 9-year-old daughter on her entire body, resulting in her death. Read the statement:<\/p>\n

Police in Shamva have arrested Sinalence Kufandirori (35) in connection with a case of murder in which she hit her daughter, Ropafadzo Meki (9) with a switch, all over the body, for allegedly using mealie \u2013meal and cooking oil to play mahumbwe on 03\/11\/23 at Maxton Farm. The child died on the way to a local self-proclaimed prophetic healer in the area.<\/p>\n

Several cases have emerged where parents or guardians have killed their children while trying to discipline them. One such case involved a woman named Lydia Kahwema who was jailed for four years for killing her 13-year-old son. The boy was sent home from school for not having a pen, and Kahwema brutally attacked him with switches and smashed his head against the wall. The judge described the attack as a form of domestic violence and emphasised the importance of maintaining a peaceful and loving home environment.<\/p>\n

In another case, a woman named Madzimai Yeukai Mutero was acquitted of murder this year after fatally assaulting her son for joining a secret cult of Zyinyau dancers. The court found that she had acted within the confines of the law and had used moderate force in administering corporal punishment.<\/p>\n

There was also a case where a man named Ronald Moda allegedly killed his three-year-old niece by banging her head against the wall after she soiled herself. Moda claimed that he was given permission to discipline the child.<\/p>\n

These cases highlight the debate surrounding the administration of corporal punishment on children and the importance of ensuring their safety and well-being.<\/p>\n
