A Bikita woman who was desperate to get money to go and look for a job in South Africa, has been arrested after she allegedly allowed her boyfriend to have sex with her and her five-year-old daughter in turns.
Nyaradzo Maungwa (29) of Duma Suburb, Nyika Growth Point allegedly watched her daughter crying out in pain as her boyfriend only identified as Spencer raped her after the two had just also had sex.Maungwa was arrested by Police details at Nyika Growth Point on Saturday.
She appeared before Bikita Resident Magistrate Bishard Chineka and was remanded out of custody to allow Police to find the alleged rapist.She would be called to court by way of summons.
Maungwa wanted to travel to South Africa but had no money. She approached Spencer seeking bus fare. Spencer promised to give her the money on condition that they slept together.
The two agreed and sometime in October last year, Spencer came to Maungwa’s home and the two had sex. Spencer was not satisfied to the extent that he paid little money to Maungwa. Maungwa complained that the money was not enough for the trip and Spencer then suggested that he could pay more on condition he was allowed to have sex with Maungwa’s five-year-old daughter.
Maungwa agreed and summoned her daughter who was then raped by Spencer while she watched. Maungwa ignored the daughter’s pleas as she suffered pain. She was then given the money and went to South Africa.The matter came to light after the child told neighbours about the rape. The neighbours then told teachers at the school where the child was in grade zero. School authorities then took the matter to the Department of Social Welfare who later made a police report.
Maungwa was told by her brother that Police had opened a docket on the matter and it was then that she came and tried to take her daughter back to South Africa in a bid to conceal the crime but was arrested soon after arrival. mirror
