Mashonaland East Police Spokesperson, Simon Chazovachiyi
told The Mirror that Talent Mudzinge (35) of Featherstone was arrested for
raping his daughter (name withheld) aged eight.
“We urge the public to quickly report rape cases so that
victims can immediately get assistance. Anyone can be a potential abuser of
children,” said Chazovachiyi.
Mudzinge allegedly told arresting officers that he took
Sekuru Mukanya’s advice and raped his daughter. He allegedly said that he had
been told to either bed his mother or daughter and he chose the latter.
The incident happened last Friday around 2 am.
Circumstances are that Mudzinge went into a kitchen where
the girl was sleeping with her brother (11).
He sent her to go and collect some clothes in his bedroom
and followed her into the room.
Mudzinge then raped and ordered her to return to the
kitchen and not to disclose the matter to anyone.
The minor narrated her ordeal to her grandmother in the
morning and she in-turn informed one of her children who then accompanied the
minor to file a Police report at Featherstone Police Station.
Mudzinge was arrested and he told Police details that he
consulted a Zhombe sangoma known as Sekuru Mukanya who told him to have sexual
intercourse with his mother or daughter to succeed as an artisanal miner. The
minor was referred to Chivhu District Hospital to be examined. Masvingo Mirror
