A HARARE man has been accused by his daughter of sexually abusing her.
This emerged when Martin Musekiwa appeared before the civil
court seeking a peace order against his children, who he claimed were
threatening to kill him.
He appeared before magistrate, Rutendo Machingure, accusing
his children, Esther and Joyline Musekiwa, of destroying his property.
He wanted his children banned from visiting his home. Joyline
denied the allegations.
Esther accused her father of sexually abusing her when she
was a minor.
“In February, my children destroyed my house in the rural
areas and sold my cattle. Esther has been calling and threatening to kill me,”
Martin said.
In response, Esther said: “Yes, I insult him because after
my mother’s death, he used to sexually abuse me.
“He would tell me to remove my clothes when I was six years
old and he would perform some rituals.
“Whenever, I tried to report him, our relatives would stop
me saying he was my father. At the age of 12, my father chased me away from
home and I lived on the streets of Harare for three days,” Esther.
Martin denied the sexual abuse allegations.
“In 2008, her brother caught her with a man in bed and
seized his ID,” Martin said.
In her ruling magistrate Rutendo Machingure dismissed the
application for lack of merit. H Metro
