respectively, both reside at Magwegwe North, Bulawayo
“Sometime in November 2024 the two complainants who were
from Magwegwe North going to Lobengula West met Kakarahwa who was driving along
Intemba road. He offered them transport and they agreed. On their way to
Lobengula West, Kakarahwa showed interest in the complainants. He promised to
secure jobs for them since the complainants lied to the accused persons that
they were looking for jobs,” Assistant Inspector Msebele said.
She added, “On the 2nd of December 2024 around 1130 hours,
Kakarahwa phoned the complainants and requested to see them. He promised to

Donnington West, Bulawayo where he gave them a room to sleep and food and he
then left.”
“On the 3rd day of December 2024 around 8pm, he proceeded
back to where he left them and took one of the complainant out of the room and
proceeded to his vehicle which was parked outside the building and adjusted the
seat backwards and requested to have sexual intercourse with her Kakarahwa had
sexual intercourse with the complainant once with protection,” said Assist.
Inspector Msebele.
“After the act the complainant returned to the room where
the other complainant was and the accused person left.
“On the 5th of December 2024 around 8am the accused went
back where he had left the complainants, who then decided to call their parents
and ask for forgiveness. Kakarahwa directed the complainants that they should
not expose him. He drove the complainant to town and gave them US$2 for
transport to their respective residential areas.”
Assistant Inspector Msebele urged parents and guardians to
teach their children not to trust strangers to avoid such incidents. She also
