Woman (aged 56) jailed 15 years for raping minor (aged 13)
A 56‑year‑old woman from a village under Chief Mketi in Mberengwa has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for indecently assaulting a 13‑year‑old boy.
The Zvishavane Regional Magistrates’ Court convicted the woman and imposed a 15‑year custodial sentence.
The court heard that on 10 March 2026 at around 1pm, the juvenile visited the offender’s homestead. She instructed him to enter her bedroom hut, and when he refused, she forcefully dragged him inside and shut the door.
Inside the room, she undressed the boy, pulled him on top of her and had sexual intercourse with him without his consent.
The victim later informed his father, who reported the matter to the police on 12 March 2026, leading to the woman’s arrest. *_-Bulawayo24_*
