One man has been jailed eight years for rape with several
others lined up for trial after engaging in sex with the same minor (16) from
Manenji Village under Chief Nyashanu in Buhera.
The girl who cannot be named because of her age has become
notorious for seeing her boyfriends off to prison after they are found guilty
of contravening Section 70 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act
(Having Sexual Intercourse with a Minor).
She has two victims so far; Itai Chinana who is serving an
eight-year jail sentence while the other one Blessing Tonderai Garira (27) of
Maweni Village, Chief Nyashanu is awaiting trial after falling in the same trap
and siring a baby with her.
The complainant is said to be in the habit of falsifying
her age to lure man into falling in love with her only to find themselves at
crossroads with the law when her parents raise the alarm.
What has annoyed many people is that she recently got
married to another lover far above her age and is pregnant while her other
victims are facing the wrath of the law. Masvingo Miror
