A 23-YEAR-OLD man from Dzivaresekwa, Harare, is in trouble
for allegedly raping his tenant’s two year-old toddler.
Ernest Dube was not asked to plead to allegations of rape
when he appeared before Harare magistrate Barbra Mateko at the weekend.
He was remanded in custody to August 18 and was advised to
apply for bail at the High Court.
It is the State’s
case that on July 17, the toddler was playing near her mother who was doing
laundry when she went into Dube’s room.
The mother heard the minor screaming and went into Dube’s
room to check what had transpired. It is alleged that she found her daughter’s pants pulled to
the knee while Dube’s trousers was unzipped.
It is the State’s
case that the mother asked Dube what had happened and he told her that he
wanted to make the minor urinate in a bucket.
The mother reportedly found no trace of urine in the
bucket. The incident was reported to the police and the minor was taken for
medical examination.
Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti appeared for the State. Daily
