Tadiwanashe Blessing, 18, was arrested after the minor
disclosed the rape to her teacher.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore
Chakanza, confirmed the arrest and said the victim was taken to Chitungwiza
Central Hospital for medical examination.
“Police arrested a Zengeza man for raping a minor twice
without protection,” said Insp Chakanza.
“Sometime in July 2023, the accused was reported to have
proposed love to the minor but was turned down.
“On an unknown date, but during the same month, the
complainant visited the accused’s barber shop, situated along Gumbakumba Street
in Zengeza 1, for a haircut.
“After the service, the accused refused payment. He then proposed love again and was accepted.
“The accused later took the complainant to his residence
where he raped her once without protection.
“Thereafter, the complainant went home but did not disclose
the matter to anyone.”
He added: “On July 22, at around 1300 hours, the accused
took the complainant to his place of residence where he raped her once again
without protection.
“The complainant revealed the matter to her classmates who
then informed their class teacher.
“The teacher interviewed the complainant who indicated that
the accused person had, indeed, raped her leading to the arrest.” H Metro
