The 26-year-old man who was allegedly raped by a 46 year-old suffered severe injuries including swollen testicles which had landed him in hospital.
The man’s family claim he has a mental illness and had previously been sexually attacked, allegedly by the same woman.
The man’s sister, who cannot be named to protect the alleged rape victim’s identity, told Sowetan yesterday in Byabyamela village near Tzaneen in Limpopo, that his brother’s swollen scrotum and strange behaviour led to him confessing his ordeal. The man also
said the alleged sexual abuse at the hands of the suspect had happened
“more than once”.
“It was strange to see him in a sickly state sometime in December. He appeared shocked, couldn’t eat or go to the toilet.
“He started vomiting, his stomach and scrotum were abnormally swollen and he was unable to urinate,” the sister said.
“At first we thought he must have been poisoned. We then decided to force him to tell us what was wrong. That’s when he told us that someone had squeezed his testicles.”
The man was then taken to a clinic which in turn referred him to a hospital in Polokwane as it was feared that his condition was a matter of life and death, the sister said.
“We questioned him further as we suspected that he might have had sex with a woman who had just aborted her pregnancy.
“He confessed that he had been forced to have sex with a woman from our neighbourhood.
“He told us that no condom was used and that he was promised a gardening job by the same woman who had invited him into her house before offering him a jar of mageu.”
The sister said her brother said the door was locked once they were inside.
“He remembers being stripped naked and made to lie on his back as the woman mounted him.” That wasn’t the first time, the sister alleged.
“We also discovered that last year the same woman asked him to escort her to nearby bushes as she wasscared to fetch firewood alone. They went together and she ended up forcing him to strip naked before having unprotected sex with him,” the sister said.
Police spokesman Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said the woman was arrested on Tuesday and had appeared in the Bolobedu Magistrate’s Court yesterday where she faced a charge of rape. Ngoepe said a kidnap charge was likely to be added to the rape charge.
The woman was granted R1000 bail and will reappear in court on February 9. – Sowetan - See more at: http://www.zimeye.com/man-raped-by-woman-sister-speaks/#sthash.m1hF80Uc.dpuf
STATE MEDIA: The First Family does not own Manzou Farm in Mazowe and has nothing to do with the eviction of illegal settlers taking place in the area, Minister of State for Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs Advocate Martin Dinha said yesterday.
He said the area was not for human habitation and the province was making efforts to restore it to its former status as a national heritage site. Manzou Farm was a game park and the Department of National Museums and Monuments declared it a national heritage site years ago.
However, it was invaded by illegal gold panners. Adv Dinha said Government had “no apologies to make” as the evictions were merely a provincial exercise dealing with squatters.
“It has got nothing to do with the First Family at all,” he said. “This business of abusing the name of the First Lady, her privacy and integrity must come to an end. Zimbabwe is not a banana republic as wished by some people and we have not deteriorated to that level of lawlessness and anarchy.”
Some sections of the media reported that the land invaders were evicted at the behest of the First Lady Amai Grace Mugabe, claiming she wanted to set up a multi-million-dollar wildlife sanctuary.
Only 48 families, not 600 as touted by the private media, were giving the province headaches. It emerged yesterday that the reason behind the families’ resistance was illegal gold panning with “certain politicians” in the province influencing them to stay.
Most of the land invaders came from Glendale and Chiweshe.
Said Adv Dinha: “Our people must know that we cannot just wake up and stay anywhere, those in need of land know we have authorities at district, provincial and national levels. We make no apology and we will deal with all illegal settlers accordingly. Spent forces like those influencing them have no political relevance.”
He said Manzou Farm was a Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management area and Government was moving towards re-establishing the game park and the Nehanda National Monument.
“The game park, prior to the land reform, was owned by a consortium of business people but at the height of the agrarian reform people invaded the area and started poaching and illegal gold panning activities also affecting Henderson Research Station, a Sadc quarantine center specialising in animal research in the process,” Adv Dinha said.
“Efforts to amicably restore the status of the game park has been met with stiff resistance because they (invaders) are being influenced politically. The whole of Manzou was designated as Nehanda National Monument with the same status as Great Zimbabwe. This means that it became a National Parks and a national heritage site, which had to be protected environmentally. In terms of this Government proclamation, the area should be preserved as a cultural heritage site and was not for occupation by people. The Provincial Development Committee resolved that they were going to resuscitate Manzou Game Park and its national monument status.”
He added: “Traditional authorities point out that Manzou was among the holiest national heritage sites in Zimbabwe having places such as Baradzanwa and Shavarunzi, where the great Mbuya Nehanda lived.”
He said because of illegal gold panning and political influence, the illegal settlers were refusing to go despite being offered an alternative place.
Although Adv Dinha, did not mention any names, First Lady Dr Grace Mugabe last year accused Mazowe South legislator Cde Fortune Chasi of terrorising her in Mazowe, where she runs a Children’s Home.
She said Cde Chasi, who was recently fired as Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Deputy Minister, was peddling falsehoods that the First Family wanted to take all the land in Mazowe.
Said Adv Dinha: “They simply do not want to leave the area because the main activity they are carrying out is gold panning thereby causing wanton destruction of vegetation, creating dongas not suitable for animal habitation.
“From 2008, I have had meetings with these people and they agreed to be removed. It’s not a communal area like areas adjacent such as Chinamhora, Chikwaka and Masembura.
“We have carried out an exercise where we relocated them to Lazy, Blagdon and Nyandirwi farms in Mazowe. Transport and all logistics were in place, schools and boreholes were there but they are still here (Manzou Farm).”
“It is only 48 families giving us problems yet another 1 200 families accepted their fate and are happily living in those areas allocated.” When The Herald visited the area yesterday demolitions were still going on and some of the affected people interviewed pleaded for more time.
“We have crops and although we have been fighting for a long time, they should just give us more time than leaving us in the open,” said one villager identified as Mr King Makhosa. herald
