A tragic incident unfolded at Nketa High School in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where a Form Four student took her own l!fe after facing rejection from her boyfriend concerning her pregnancy.
She was laid to rest in a sombre ceremony attended by friends, family, and community members on Monday, July 22.
The student, who had been dating an Upper-six student at the same school, reportedly sought support from her boyfriend after discovering she was pregnant. The boyfriend’s refusal to accept responsibility for the pregnancy caused her significant emotional distress, contributing to her decision to take her own l!fe.
On July 12, the girl visited her boyfriend’s home but was later found by her aunt and brought back to their residence. It is believed that she had attempted to discuss the situation with her boyfriend again, only to be met with continued rejection. This further intensified her despair.
