A MARRIED Bulawayo man allegedly raped and impregnated his domestic worker. Milton Ndlovu of Emganwini suburb allegedly pounced on the maid in May while his wife was away.
The maid fell pregnant after she was raped twice on separate days. She allegedly later miscarried and notified her aunt who advised her to report the matter to the police leading to Ndlovu's arrest.
Ndlovu's rape trial will commence on August 25 before regional magistrate Chrispen Mberewere.
Trust Muduma, for the State, alleged that in May this year, Ndlovu went to the kitchen where the woman was doing her chores.
He allegedly proposed love to her and the maid turned him down.
"As Ndlovu left for work that day around 7AM, he asked her a question. The maid directed him to the verandah and Ndlovu pulled her to the bedroom while she screamed for help," said Muduma.
"He undressed her and removed his trousers before raping her once. Afterwards the woman dressed up, left the bedroom crying and proceeded to the kitchen. Ndlovu went to her and apologised for his actions."
The woman did not tell anyone about the incident.
"On June 13 at around 7AM, the woman was in her bedroom and Ndlovu came from behind, grabbed her and pushed her to the bed. He then raped her once, dressed up and left the room," Muduma said.
He also alleged that the woman sent a WhatsApp text to her aunt telling her about the rape.
"The maid's aunt told her to leave the place at once but she insisted on staying a bit longer to wait for her salary. The maid made a report at Entumbane Police Station leading to Ndlovu's arrest."
