However, 3 years were set aside on the condition that he does not commit a similar offence in the next five years.

Prosecuting, Themba Dhliwayo said on 6 November 2022, Banxa approached the complainant who was playing alone about 70 metres from their homestead. Said Dhliwayo:

> Banxa grabbed the complainant’s hand and dragged her into a toilet which is about 10 meters away from where she was playing. He raped her once and was only released after biting Banxa on the chin.

> After the act, Banxa vanished from the scene. The complainant went home crying.

> She met Mr Calvin Mucheri and Mr Allen Khumbula along the way who asked her why she was crying.

> She revealed to the two that Banxa had raped her in the toilet.

Mucheri and Khumbula confronted Banxa, but he denied raping the complainant.

A report was made to the police leading to Banxa’s arrest. | The Manica Post
