A 48 year old Zvishavane man on separation with his wife
has appeared in court charged with raping a 12-year old minor twice on the same
day after promising to marry her.
Bhobho Ngwenya of Ndoro Village under Chief Negove appeared
before Zvishavane Magistrate Archie Wouchinga recently and was remanded in
custody to a later date.
The State led by Taurai Muzvimwe said that Ngwenya was on
separation from his wife but stayed at the same house.
Muzvimwe said the incident occurred on August 20, 2020 at
around 8pm. Ngwenya allegedly approached the minor who was sitting outside a
hut, promised to marry her, laid her on the ground, removed her pants and raped
her once outside the hut.
Ngwenya then allegedly took the minor into his room where
he raped her all night.
The matter came to light when the minor narrated the ordeal
to Ngwenya’s wife when she returned from a visit. Masvingo Mirror
