The Zimbabwean Embassy in South Africa is investigating an alleged gang rape of a 22-year-old Zimbabwean woman based in that country.
The woman was allegedly gang raped by 11 Tanzanians last week in Johannesburg.
According to reports, Zimbabwe Consul-General in South Africa Mr Batiraishe Mukonoweshuro is probing the case.
"We're investigating a case where a 22-year-old Zimbabwean woman was gang raped by 11 Tanzanians while coming from work.
"The team is out trying to find out what happened but I'm told she was raped by Tanzanians not Nigerians as we had been earlier told" he is quoted saying by the Chronicle.
The victim was working at a tavern that closes very late at night or in the early morning hours.
Tanzanians could have ganged on her as she was heading home, Mukonoweshuro said.
In 2015, two white South African men filmed themselves, gang, raping a Zimbabwean woman who had approached them seeking employment as a domestic worker.
The video sparked public outcry.
