A Bulawayo man was arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl six times in one day. Ndodana Ndlovu, 33, of Nkulumane appeared before Provincial magistrate Abednico Ndebele to answer rape charges and was remanded in custody to March 3.
The court heard that on Tuesday last week the teen’s mother sent her to collect money from Ndlovu who had bought eggs from her on credit.
Prosecuting, Stewart Madzore told the court that on February 16 the girl set out but failed to locate Ndlovu’s house. “She decided to sleep at her aunt’s house in Nkulumane.
“The next day she woke up and went to look for Ndlovu and met him on the road,” said Madzore. “The accused who was with a co-worker greeted the complainant and they invited her into a kombi that he was driving.”
The prosecutor said Ndlovu took the girl to his house where he ordered her to strip naked. “The accused raped the complainant six times,” said Madzore. The girl later reported the assault to her brother leading to Ndlovu’s arrest.
