A 24-year-old Bulawayo commercial sex worker was allegedly raped in a public toilet by a client after she refused to render free sexual favours. Pedzisai Magama, 25, who resides in Makokoba suburb, allegedly dragged his victim to Makokoba Farmers’ Market public toilet before raping her on the floor on August 31.
Magama, who met the woman at Royal Club along Lobengula Street, appeared before magistrate Sibongile Msipa and was remanded in custody to September 16.
Prosecuting Tafadzwa Mutsambiwa told the court that on August 31 Magama met the woman at the night club and requested sex.
She agreed to have sexual intercourse with him for a fee of $15. They left the club at 3 AM and headed to Magama’s residence in Makokoba, the court heard.
Upon arrival, Magama failed to pay the $15 and the woman withdrew her consent and left Magama at his house. She started walking towards Luveve Road where she intended to get transport to Entumbane where she resides, and Magama followed her.
He caught up with her and informed the woman that he wanted to escort her to the nearest bus stop.
Magama then told her that they should go back to Royal Club and grabbed her by her jeans and force-marched her into the nearby Makokoba Farmers’ Market toilet.
Magama allegedly tripped her and raped her once without a condom.
