A 52-year-old man from Chivi raped a mentally challenged
woman for five consecutive months and impregnated her in the process.
Chenjerai Mugadza was recently sentenced to 13 years in
jail by Magistrate Dambudzo Malunga at Masvingo Magistrates Court. The
complainant is aged 38.
Liberty Hove for the State said Mugadza raped the
complainant many times between February and June 2019.
Mugadza raped the complainant in February 2019 after
following her into a bushy area near Mhosva Village where she was fetching
firewood. He pinned her down and raped her once.
He repeatedly forced himself on the complainant until June
2019 when the complainant’s mother suspected that her daughter was pregnant.
The pregnancy was confirmed at Chidyamakono Clinic and the
matter was reported at Chivi Police station leading to Mugadza’s arrest.
Ngomahuru Psychiatric Hospital examined and concluded that
the complainant is mentally challenged and unable to consent to sex. Masvingo Mirror
