Police in Zimbabwe have arrested self-proclaimed "prophet" and religious leader Ismail Chokurongerwa and seven of his associates for crimes including child abuse.
They were arrested after police raided a farm near Harare. The raid found school-aged children who had no formal education and were being "engaged in manual labor to teach them life skills", but were actually being used as cheap labour. 246 out of 251 children did not have a birth certificate, writes The Guardian.
According to law enforcement officials, 16 graves were also found on the farm, where 9 adults and 7 children were buried.
