A 12- year-
old Harare girl has stunned the court after admitting to having consented to be
intimate with five men.
Two of them
were convicted and fined for having been intimate with a minor. Tapfumanei
Kaitano (26) and one Lloyd (21) were both fined $200 each by different
magistrates.
Another
accused Victor Lemon (22) yesterday appeared in court for his initial remand
charged with rape. He was remanded in custody to August 30 and advised to apply
for bail at the High Court.
The trial of
Nyasha Kaitano (22) opened yesterday before magistrate Mr Rodgers Kachambwa.
Nyasha
pleaded not guilty, arguing that the intimacy was by consent. The accused — who
is in custody — said, in his evidence in chief, he was actually in love with
the minor. He accused the girl of making the advances. Nyasha said they became
intimate at a friend’s house.
He claimed to
have asked the minor if she had been intimate before and she admitted to having
had sex with two other men. During cross-examination by prosecutor Mr Michael
Reza, the Group A primary school pupil who was speaking in fluent English,
admitted to having consensual sex with Nyasha.
The girl,
whose parents are deceased, stunned the court admitting to be Nyasha’s
girlfriend.
When asked by
Mr Kachambwa if it was Kaitano only whom she had been intimate with, she
admitted sleeping with two other men. She told the court that she had a one
night stand with Lemon.
Mr Reza
interjected and advised the court that the girl, in her police statement,
admitted to having slept with five men.
“Your worship
for the interest of the court, she confirmed to the police that besides the
three she has mentioned to you, she also slept with two others. Tapfumaneyi who
has since been convicted and one Abel who is still at large making them five,”
he said
The minor did
not dispute Mr Reza’s allegations. She told the court that she would tell their
gardener’s wife about her sexual encounters. The girl’s guardian, her aunt,
told the court that the girl needed help.
She submitted
that on the night of July 30, the girl disappeared from home and they made a
police report.
“After a
fruitless search, we decided to report her missing and with the help of the
police we managed to find her the following day at one of her boyfriend’s
house, Lemon.
“A medical
examination was conducted and it disclosed that it was not her first time to
sleep with men and when police interviewed her, she listed all her boyfriends.
“I think she
needs help,” she said without specifying the kind of help she meant.
The trial
continues today. The State alleges that sometime in June around 3pm, Nyasha
approached the girl and proposed love to her and she agreed.
They had
sexual intercourse on that same day and she did not tell anyone. Ms Karen
Muyangwa of Mabuye Zvarevashe legal practitioners is representing Nyasha.

She really needs some help. I think she lacks love at home and thinks if she sleeps around with men is the easy way of being accepted to them.
Imagine that my dear. jus coz shez an orphan! zvakawoma.
