TRAGIC: Student Commits Suicide After Girlfriend Of 4-Yrs Gets Impregnated By Another Man
A student from Harare Polytechnic committed suicide after his girlfriend of 4-years eloped with another man.
The deceased body of 27-year-old Takudzwa Chifamba was found hanging at his friend’s house in the same suburb in Highfield. Battery acid, rat poison, and a piece of rope were found next to his body.
Takudzwa decided to take his own life when he discovered that his girlfriend (only identified as Christine) had eloped after being impregnated by another man.
Family spokesperson Brian Chifamba confirmed Takudzwa’s tragic death saying;
“We have been robbed of a loving brother who showed brilliance in most of his works.”
“He failed to receive immediate counselling after he learnt about his lover’s pregnancy for another man,” he said.
He reportedly left a suicide note at Christine’s house and also sent similar notes to some of his friends.
In the suicide note, Takudzwa wrote that he regretted giving his love to Christine. He also revealed that there was a book with a written agreement with Christine to marry.
Before he committed suicide he tried to reach out to some of his friends but unfortunately, they were not available. They only got to see his messages after he had passed on.
In a WhatsApp post addressed to his parents, Takudzwa apologized to them saying;
“Dear Mom and Dad, I’m sorry it has to happen this way. Just know that l love you so much.”
Speaking on Takudzwa’s death, social media influencer Wellence Mujuru addressed the issue of mental health awareness. He urged young people not to give up on life and to seek counselling when need be.
