Ruvarashe, her aunt and the councillor
A teenage couple in Bindura has welcomed triplets.
Ruvarashe Chaire (16) and her 18-year-old Leonard Maenza, are over the moon.
But the couple has no money to look after the babies as Leonard is unemployed. The
Herald reports that Ruvarashe fell pregnant last year after dropping out of
Form 3 due to challenges with school fees.
“I met Leonard and I eloped in August. I fell pregnant and
he was assisted by his relatives to pay lobola. His father passed away and his
mother welcomed me.
Women Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCoZ) provincial chairperson
Ms Mandi Piyasi who mobilised milk, clothes and soap for the babies, said the
rate at which teen pregnancies have risen in Mashonaland Central province was
alarming.
