By Terrence Mawawa, Masvingo|A rogue Zvishavane woman known for hiring sex workers for her husband, shocked the local community when she assisted her husband to rape their 14 year old daughter.
In an incident that has left the entire community dumb struck, Netsai Sibanda who has the habit of hiring women for her husband because of fatigue, locked her husband Philemon Tauze(30) and their 14 year daughter in the couple’s bedroom and watched as her husband raped the minor.
Tauze appeared before Zvishavane magistrate, Shepard Munjanja, facing rape charges. He pleaded guilty to the charges.
The incident happened in Mhike Village Zvishavane when Tauze and Sibanda took their daughter into the bedroom and locked her up. Tauze then raped the minor while the mother watched. Tauze had sex with her daughter twice in full view of the minor’s mother. The minor later reported the matter to a neighbour leading to the couple’s arrest. They are both being charged with abuse of the minor.
The two will be back in court on March 9.
Angry villagers who attended the court hearing accused Sibanda and Tauze of being heartless parents urging the court to impose a stiff penalty on the couple. The two’s neighbours angrily described them as mentally retarded social misfit who deserve a harsh sentence. The entire community now eagerly anticipates the court ruling expected next week.
“We do not feel sorry for the two-let them face justice because they destroyed the child’s future,” an angry relative told ZimEye.com
