In a heartbreaking incident, the city of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe is reeling from the tragic death of 10-year-old Nomvelo Phumuzile Mqhele, who reportedly died by suicide in her family home in Pumula South.

The heartbreaking event unfolded while her uncle, who was babysitting, briefly left the house.

According to police reports, Nomvelo was in the care of her 18-year-old uncle, who stepped out to visit friends, leaving her alone with her two-year-old sibling.

Upon his return, he made the grim discovery of Nomvelo hanging from a roof truss, using a rope, plastic chair, and a 20-litre container. Her younger sibling was found crying beside the tragic scene.

Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele, the deputy police spokesperson for Bulawayo, confirmed that no visible injuries were found on Nomvelo’s body, and there was no suicide note, leaving the reasons for her actions unclear.

Authorities are still investigating what may have led to this tragedy.

This shocking incident follows the recent observance of World Mental Health Day, underscoring the urgent need for greater focus on child safety and mental well-being.

In response, the police have issued a public appeal to parents and guardians, urging them to maintain open communication with their children and to be vigilant for any signs of distress or mental health issues.
