SOCIAL media personality Josephine Mutongi has been arrested in connection with the tragedy in Kuwadzana Extension in which three kids were found dead in the trunk of a car.

National Police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrest.

Mutongi gained notoriety during the recent tragedy.

She organised a public march, urging participants to wear white in solidarity.

However, her actions have sparked significant backlash.

At the funeral, she allegedly collected cash donations from mourners without the approval of the grieving families.

She later posted a video on social media claiming she was handing over the funds which she had collected.

Mutongi has since apologised for her conduct.
