Antenatal mortality riles CSOs

CIVIC Society Organisations (CSOs) have expressed concern over an increase in the antenatal mortality rate among girls saying this exposed the extent of abuse of the girl child.

This comes after a 14-year-old girl from the Johane Marange apostolic church  died  recently a few days after giving birth at home in Buhera.

Last year another 14-year-old girl also died while giving birth at a Johane Marange shrine in Manicaland province.
