A Hurungwe man (60) has been sentenced to 40 years in jail by Karoi Regional Magistrates’ Court for two counts of raping his 14-year-old granddaughter.
According to the National Prosecution Authority of Zimbabwe, the victim was left in the grandfather’s custody while her grandmother was away. The court heard that he lured her into his bedroom under the pretense of asking for help, raped her, and threatened her with eviction if she told anyone.
A month later, he allegedly raped her again after stalking her to a garden where she was fetching water and vegetables.
The abuse came to light after the girl confided in social welfare workers, who launched investigations leading to the man’s arrest.
The NPAZ commended the victim’s bravery and the swift response by social welfare officers. It also urged the public to report suspected child abuse to police or social welfare desks immediately.
