A 24 year-old man from Bugwi village, Chief Bvute in
Mberengwa was shocked recently when he followed his brother who had left their
bedroom at night only to find him having sex with their sister in the next
house.
It has since emerged that the sister who is 16 years old is
four months pregnant with brother.
Nkangelo Sibanda (24) and his sister Nokuthula appeared
before Mberengwa Magistrate Evia Matura facing incest charges legally defined
as having sexual intercourse within prohibited degree of relationship as
defined in Section 75 (2) of the Criminal Law (Cordification and Reform) Act
Chapter 9:23.
State prosecutor Wadzanayi Shayanewako told the court that
on July 27 2017, at around midnight Nkangelo left his brother's bedroom where
he was sleeping and went out.
About 20 minutes later, the accused's brother decided to
follow him after he suspected that his brother was unwell. He looked for him in
the toilet and at the back of the house but could not find him. He then decided
to check in his sister's hut where he intended to alert her that Nkangelo was
missing.
He entered the room which was not locked and was shocked to find the two busy enjoying sex. He left the two and alerted their mother who was sleeping
in another hut.
The mother quizzed the two and they admitted to
having a sexual relationship. The mother informed their father who was in
Kwekwe at the time and he instructed his wife to inform the Neighbourhood Watch
Committee leading to the arrest of the two.
On the same day the two were examined at Zvishavane
district hospital. The girl is alleged to have confessed that she is four
months pregnant with her brother Nkangelo being responsible.
The two have been remanded in custodyfor
sentence.
