A man from Chiweshe has been sentenced to 20 years in jail after he was found guilty of raping his five-year-old niece on May 28 this year.

The 39 year-old man appeared at the  Bindura Magistrate’s Court after a police report was made leading to his arrest.

According to a National Prosecution Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) statement, the minor had been left in the custody of her 76-year-old grandmother by her mother, when the man swayed her to his brick moulding work station.

Upon arrival at the scene, the rapist sent his two sons -who had accompanied him- to fetch firewood before taking the complaint to a private place where he raped her.
