A GWANDA man has appeared in court facing allegations of raping his sister-in-law.

The man, who cannot be named for ethical reasons, allegedly met the 28-year-old woman in a bushy area and raped her.

He was not asked to plead when he appeared briefly before Gwanda provincial magistrate, Mrs Patience Madondo. He was remanded in custody to April 28 for bail application at the Gwanda regional court.

Prosecuting Mr Ngonidzashe Shumba said the man allegedly raped his sister-in-law on March 2025.
“The complainant was on her way home, coming from Simbumbumbu Clinic, when she met the accused person, who greeted her. They parted ways and the accused person further followed her. He proposed love to her, but she refused. The accused person dragged the complainant into a bushy area where he raped her,” he said.
