The Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children (ZNCWC) is deeply saddened by the recent tragic incident in Eastview area 10 Mabvuku in which two young children lost their lives. Our heartfelt condolences go to the family, loved ones, and everyone affected by this devastating event.
This tragedy serves as a painful reminder that children are often the silent victims of violence and conflict within the home. Every child has the right to grow up in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment, free from fear, abuse, and harm.
ZNCWC calls upon families, communities, and all stakeholders to promote peaceful conflict resolution and to seek support when faced with domestic or family challenges. No child should ever bear the consequences of violence between adults.
We encourage anyone experiencing or witnessing domestic violence to speak out and seek assistance through the appropriate support services. Early intervention can save lives and help protect children from preventable harm.
As investigations into this incident continue, we urge the public to allow the relevant authorities to carry out their work while respecting the dignity and privacy of those affected.
ZNCWC remains committed to working with Government, civil society, communities, and families to strengthen child protection systems and ensure that every child in Zimbabwe is safe, protected, and able to thrive.
