HARARE – A nine-year-old Harare girl reportedly fell to her death while fleeing some Nyau dancers commonly known as zvigure/izitandari.
Police reported the sad incident via their social media handles on Wednesday.
“The ZRP confirms a sad incident in which a 9-year-old girl died after falling to the ground while running away from masquerades (Zvigure) at a school located along Sinini Drive, Eastview Phase1, Mabvuku, Harare on 15/05/23. Investigations are in progress,” police said without giving further details.
Apart from their fascinating dances, Nyau dancers are associated with a lot of myth among adults, but to young children, they are monsters.
