Girl Child Network accuses Rusere

Rusere, 61, of impregnating the former child parliamentarian for Zaka East, Petronella Chimbera.
Chimbera, who was still in her teens at the time of the offence about two years ago, has since given birth to a baby sired by the deputy minister who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Zaka East constituency.
A report compiled by the Network in February this year but only made available to ZimOnline this week, says Rusere impregnated the minor between 2003 and 2004.
Rusere is also accused of using his immense influence in offering the girl’s parents a farm under the government’s controversial land policies.
The report reads in part: “It is assumed that the MP got into an out of court settlement with the girl and her family. The family was allegedly allocated a farm . . . It is against this background that the GCN is instituting investigations against the MP with the view to rescue the abused child.”
Contacted for comment, Rusere flatly rejected the allegations.”I am not aware of such a thing. What I only know is that I worked with all child parliamentarians nicely in my area. Even if that might sound true can you not see that it has been overtaken by events?” said Rusere. – ZimOnline
