John Symth’s Victims and Their Families in Zimbabwe Hope for Closure

“He hurt us. … Guide was an only boy in a family of seven girls. What he (the abuser) did was grossly unfair. May his spirit burn in hell!” These are sentiments of Judith Nyachuru, the sister of Guide Nyachuru, the boy who died in 1992 at a holiday camp run by serial abuser John Smyth through his Zambezi Ministries in Zimbabwe. For decades, the Nyachuru family has hoped for closure, which has proved to be elusive.
