A 26-year Beitbridge man allegedly sneaked into his neighbour's bedroom and had sex with his wife after pretending to be the husband.
Matabeleland South police spokesperson Inspector Philisani Ndebele confirmed the incident, which occurred on Friday.
Insp Ndebele said Clement Ndou from Togwe area under headman Foromera, visited his neighbour's wife at about 8pm and pretended to be her husband before having sex with her once.
"At about 8pm on Friday, Ndou proceeded to his neighbour's homestead while her husband was out for a beer drink. He knocked on his neighbour's bedroom hut and the woman, who had gone to bed, unlocked the door assuming that it was her husband," said Insp Ndebele.
"After unlocking the door, she immediately went back to bed and Ndou joined her in bed. Still assuming that the man was her husband, the woman had sex with Ndou once before he went outside."
Insp Ndebele said after the encounter, Ndou immediately went outside.
"She was surprised why the man went outside and decided to follow him, only to realise that it was their neighbour.
"The matter was reported to the police, leading to Ndou's arrest. Investigations are still underway, said Insp Ndebele.
He urged members of the public, especially men to desist from abusing women and girls, saying police will not hesitate to arrest such people.
