A 39-year-old Harare man died after being attacked by four dogs along a footpath in Southerton on Wednesday evening.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the death of Malcom Takudzwa Muzavazi, who was fatally attacked on September 24, 2026, between 6pm and 6.30pm.

The incident occurred along a footpath between the ZESA Holdings durawall and a car sale in Southerton.

According to police, the dogs comprised a male Belgian Malinois and three Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd crossbreeds.
