A woman from Mvuma has appeared before a magistrate and given 280 hours of community service after being convicted of having sexual intercourse with a minor.
But the sentence has raised mixed feelings in the community with some saying she should have been given a stronger punishment.
19 year- old Beauty Madzinga is also HIV positive.
Beauty was also jointly charged with her colleague Patience Majoni, also 19,  for allegedly performing an indecent act with a young person.
The two women from Mashayavhudzi suburb in Mvuma called two boys who were passing by their home and told them they were looking for someone to have sex with.
They allegedly ordered the two boys to unzip their trousers and display their manhood before selecting one boy and took him into a room. Once inside it is alleged Beauty Madzinga had sex with the boy.
The other boy witnessed the act as he was peeping through the window and reported it to his grandmother who in turn alerted the complainant’s grandmother.
Meanwhile, the sentence imposed by Mvuma magistrate Ms Vimbai Makora has sparked anger among the community who feel the two offenders should have been given a jail term.
Experts, however, say the lenient verdict is not unreasonable given the circumstances in which the crime was committed.
Beauty had sexual intercourse with a young person with his consent although the law says someone aged 15 is incapable of consenting.
