A FOUNDERS High School gardener is in hot soup after he allegedly grabbed a 16-year-old girl and touched her buttocks and breasts before caressing her private parts and eventually ejaculated on her thighs.
For the offence, Mgcini Tshuma (35) who stays at Founders High School appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Collet Ncube facing an attempted rape charge. He pleaded not guilty and was remanded in custody to 21 May.
A court heard that on a date not known to the prosecutor but sometime in April this year Tshuma failed to control his feelings as he allegedly proposed love to the teen girl, but his proposal was turned down.
Tshuma did not give up. The court heard that last week on Sunday he was hired to do a part-time job by the complainant’s parents.
It is said at around 10.30am the teenager prepared tea for the gardener and went to give it to him. The girl never knew that Tshuma would spring a surprise.
The court heard that Tshuma grabbed her by her hand and fondled her breasts and buttocks and her private parts.
It is said he held her firmly and took out his manhood and tried to rape her, but the minor managed to wrestle herself from his tight grip, and in the process, he ejaculated on her thighs.
The teen girl managed to free herself from his tight grip and ran to her parents and informed them about the incident. The incident was reported to the police leading to the arrest of Tshuma.
