In the past, there have been reports of women who allegedly
pounce on hitchhikers and later collect their sperms reportedly for ritual
purposes.
Last month, three women allegedly kidnapped and took turns
sexually assaulting a 21-year-old man in Harare. The trio gave a lift to the
man, along Samora Machel Avenue, before injecting him with an unknown
substance. They then took turns raping him and collecting his semen.
In Bulawayo, 2016, three women allegedly abducted a man
from Cowdray Park and forced him to have sex with them before taking away his
semen.
The suspected sperm harvesters were said to be driving a
white Toyota Cresta.
In 2011, three Gweru women were arrested after being
intercepted at a road-block with 31 used condoms containing semen.
The three, Rosemary Chakwizira, 24, Sophie Nhokwara, 26,
and Netsai Nhokwara, 24, all of Mkoba Village Four, faced 17 counts of
aggravated indecent assault but were acquitted due to lack of evidence.
Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Abednico
Ncube, said on Monday evening, three unknown women allegedly waylaid a
26-year-old man from Pumula South suburb into their car after asking him for
directions.
“Police in Bulawayo are investigating a case of aggravated
indecent assault whereby a male adult aged 26 of Pumula South was sexually
abused by three unknown female adults,” he said.
“Circumstances are that on the 27th of June 2022 at around
1900 hours the complainant was walking along an unnamed tarred road in Old
Pumula, Bulawayo when he was stopped by one unknown female adult who was
driving a blue Honda Fit (registration number unknown). “The driver asked the
complainant for directions to reach Ashy’s Sports Bar, Pumula South, Bulawayo.
The complainant offered to accompany the accused person since he was also going
in the same direction,” said Insp Ncube.
He said the man entered the car and saw two more female
occupants who were seated in the back passenger seat.
“The two female accused persons made the complainant sit in
the middle and asked him what he was drinking. The complainant showed the
accused person opaque beer, which he had poured into a water bottle,” said Insp
Ncube. “The accused persons offered the complainant a glass of beer, which he
failed to identify from its taste and he drank it once,” said Insp Ncube.
He said after gulping the drink the man lost consciousness
and woke up on a bed with the three women naked.
“The complainant became unconscious after drinking the beer
and only gained consciousness when he was lying on a bed in a house somewhere
with one female accused person standing naked beside the bed but he cannot
remember the place.
“The accused person undressed the complainant who then lost
consciousness again,” said Insp Ncube.
He said the man woke up the next morning, dumped near
Robert Sinyoka Primary School.
“The complainant gained consciousness on 28 June 2022 at
around 05:45 hours and he found himself lying by the roadside near Robert
Sinyoka Primary School, Pumula, Bulawayo.
“The complainant discovered some whitish substance on his
stomach while passing urine and he suspected that the accused persons might
have had sexual intercourse with him without his consent while he was in their
custody,” said Insp Ncube.
He said on the same day at around 10AM, the man narrated
the ordeal to his aunt who then accompanied him to the police station where he
made a report.
Insp Ncube urged members of the public to help with information
that will lead to the arrest of the women.
“We urge public members not to entertain and accept free
rides from strangers. We appeal to the members of the public with information
that may lead to the arrest of the accused persons to report to the nearest
police station,” he said.
The rape of men is viewed as something hard to believe, as
many in society cannot comprehend how a man can be erect and ejaculate under
duress.
Traditionalists say it is possible for men to be raped and
these women might be using the sperm for ritual purposes such as getting rich.
Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers Association
president, Mr George Kandiero, said the victim will be in a semi-conscious but
sexually aroused state.
“They give the men aphrodisiacs and after that one will be
semi-paralysed and at the same time you are very aroused,” he said.
Then they do as they wish with the person. The way of
extraction is part of the ritual for them to get their desired results. They
either use the semen for money rituals or even to fix certain men or to lure
them. There’s muthi, as they mix it with semen and bathe with it,” said Mr
Kandiero.
He said the victims need to be spiritually cleansed.
“Unfortunately for the victim, they need cleansing as this
will affect them in bed as they won’t perform anymore and spiritually, you’re
no longer okay. They need a diviner who will find out what happened to the
victim as this is witchcraft,” said Mr Kandiero.
He said the sperm has to be taken by duress as the spells
will not work if it is given up voluntarily.
Mr Kandiero said some women collect the sperm for rich
people. Chronicle
