A Zimbabwean man from Muchokwa village, Zaka District, Masvingo Province has been jailed for 60 years for raping his brother's daughter and a mentally challenged woman on different occasions.
Venganai Tenga raped the
daughter that he stayed with, three times and the mentally challenged woman
once.
Magistrate Zuyu however,
suspended 30 years of the sentence on condition that Tenga will not commit a
similar offense in the next five years. This leaves Tenga with an effective 30
years in prison.
He got 15 years on each count.

said in the first count, Tenga (30) of Muchokwa village, Chief Nyakunhuwa in
Zaka approached the girl who was fetching firewood. He pushed away the firewood
and tripped the girl. He lifted her skirt and raped her.
On the second count, the
accused followed the girl into a house where she was sweeping. He produced an
Okapi knife and pushed the girl onto the mattress, pulled the girl's skirt and
raped her again.
