A 20-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested for allegedly raping
his teenage sister in a bush near a children’s home where they stay.
He was not asked to
plead to the allegations when he appeared before Harare magistrate Judith
Taruvinga yesterday.
He was remanded in custody to October 19 and was advised to
approach the High Court for bail. It is alleged that on October 3 the complainant
was collecting firewood in the bush when her brother followed her, grabbed her
and undressing her before he raped her.
This led to his arrest and subsequent appearance in court.
In another matter, a Sunningdale man has also been charged with rape after he allegedly violated
a 10-year-old girl twice.
The offence was discovered after the girl developed an
infection on her private parts. Muvirimi Enos Mazikana, 35, was not asked to plead to allegations of rape
and was remanded in custody.
He was advised to apply for bail at the High Court.
Allegations are that sometime in March, he called the girl to his room before ordering her to lie on his bed and
remove her clothes before raping her.
Further allegations are that in August, he saw the girl on
her way to fetch water at a borehole and took her to his house where he again
raped her.
The court heard that after two days, the minor developed a
pimple on her private parts and her guardian took her for a medical
examination. She then spilled the beans. Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti appeared
for the State. Daily News
