A 30-year-old Harare man last week appeared in court on
allegations of raping his 18-year-old neighbour after promising to give her
boyfriend a contract to conduct dance lessons for his bridal party.
Tatenda Chikudungu of number 6137 Westlea, Harare, appeared
before Harare magistrate Mrs Victoria Mashamba, who granted him $300 bail.
As part of his bail conditions, Chikudungu was ordered not
to interfere with State witnesses and to continue residing at his given
address.
The court heard that on December 18 Chikudungu invited the
complainant to his room and asked to have sex with her on the understanding that
he would give her boyfriend a contract to conduct dance lessons for his bridal
party and she agreed.
The court heard that Chikudungu started fondling the
complainant’s breasts. The complainant then changed her mind since Chikudungu
was about to get married. She allegedly tried to get off the bed but Chikudungu
then raped her. The court heard that the matter came to light when the
complainant’s boyfriend accused her of having an extra-marital affair with
Chikudungu and they broke up.
The complainant, the court heard narrated the whole story
to her sister leading to Chikudungu’s arrest. Herald
