ZANU-PF member of parliament for Bikita West, Munyaradzi Kereke was this morning convicted of rape.
He had pleaded not guilty and claimed he was out of the country when he is alleged to have sexually abused his wife's two nieces.
Harare Magistrate Noel Mupeiwa said the evidence brought before the courts was overwhelming leading the assertion that the minor was raped at gun point .
The case was however adjourned to 14:15 for the final verdict.
Kereke's rape case is one of several that the suspended prosecutor-general, Johannes Tomana refused to prosecute. It took a high court order for the family of the two girls to get a certificate allowing them to prosecute Kereke privately.
More later.
