A Zhombe sangoma identified as Sekuru Mukanya has landed a Chivhu artisanal gold miner in Police custody after he allegedly told him to bed his mother or daughter to succeed.
Mashonaland East Police Spokesperson, Simon Chazovachiyi told The Mirror that Talent Mudzinge (35) of Featherstone was arrested for raping his daughter (name withheld) aged eight.
“We urge the public to quickly report rape cases so that victims can immediately get assistance. Anyone can be a potential abuser of children,” said Chazovachiyi.
Mudzinge allegedly told arresting officers that he took Sekuru Mukanya’s advice and raped his daughter. He allegedly said that he had been told to either bed his mother or daughter and he chose the latter.
The incident happened last Friday around 2 am.
Circumstances are that Mudzinge went into a kitchen where the girl was sleeping with her brother (11). He sent her to go and collect some clothes in his bedroom and followed her into the room.
Mudzinge then raped her and ordered her to return to the kitchen and not to disclose the matter to anyone. Mirror.
