Insiza South villagers in Vokola were left in shock after discovering a foetus dumped in the bush near Mkwabene Primary School on Tuesday around 4 pm.
A woman fetching firewood reportedly saw a dog trying to pull out a foetus wrapped in a towel that had been placed inside an anthill.
She alerted other villagers, and the police were notified.
The police came and collected the remains which were transported to Fibulasi Hospital.
A villager who spoke to CITE said those who went to the scene took pictures and circulated them on social media to raise awareness about the incident.
“We are shocked as villagers because this is the first time such an incident has occurred here,” the villager said.
The villager said they may have identified the woman and a community meeting had been called to address the matter.
“The woman has been identified, and the community is planning a meeting today at Vokola Business Centre to discuss this matter,” the villager said.
Contacted for comment, Matabeleland South Provincial Spokesperson Inspector Loveness Mangena said she was yet to receive the report.
