Jephorey Chimenya (60) and Phillip Makamera (73) appeared
before Masvingo Magistrate Mbonisi Ndlovu facing indecent assault charges.
It is alleged that on September 20, 2020, Chimenya and
Makamera approached the minor at home when her mother was away. The two
sprinkled ‘holy water’ on the complainant on the pretext that they were
exorcising her of demons.
They followed the minor to the borehole the next day and
sexually abused her, said the State. They allegedly tapped her buttocks with
walking sticks telling her that they had grown bigger and ripe for the act
after being sprinkled with the holy water.
The State is being represented by Godknows Mapundu. They
pleaded not guilty.
Makamera also approached the minor in front of her mother
and accused the mother of influencing the complainant against the church. He
fondled the girl’s breasts in the presence of the mother.
Judgement will be on May 6, 2021. Masvingo Mirror
