Man (53) ‘Rapes’ Four-Year-Old Girl

A 53-year old man from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe has appeared in court for allegedly r*ping his neighbour’s four-year-old daughter after he found her playing alone outside his house.

The man, a Pumula South suburb resident allegedly r*ped the minor twice in his bedroom.

The man who cannot be named to protect the identity of the minor allegedly grabbed the girl while she was playing outside his house and took her inside before raping her.

The accused person was not asked to plead to r*pe charges when he appeared before Western Commonage magistrate Mr Lungile Ncube.


Mr Ncube remanded him in custody to January 4 and advised him to apply for bail at the High Court.

The State led by Mr Kenneth Shava alleges that on December 17 during the day, the girl was playing alone outside the man’s house.

“He lifted her and took her into his house. While inside his bedroom he removed her trousers and pant and molested her once. He then lifted the girl and put her on the bed and again sexually abused her once,” said Mr Shava.

The girl was medically examined and a medical report will be used as exhibit in court.
