Woman exposes rapist hubby

A Nyamandlovu woman on the outskirts of Bulawayo got her hubby arrested after she led to his arrest after she identified his footprints at a rape scene.

Barely four days after Sikwanisile Mathe (31) left her husband for her parent's home over undisclosed circumstances, Nkosana Maphosa (31) allegedly hatched a plan to enjoy the forbidden fruit elsewhere.

Maphosa reportedly decided to go and drink beer at Bishop Nkosi's homestead which is situated in Mazizini, under Chief Deli.

After he had left Bishop Nkosi's homestead, Maphosa proceeded to a nearby homestead in the same area where he forcibly opened the one woman's bedroom door.

When the woman realised that there was an intruder, she is said to have lit a paraffin lamp and that is when one of her siblings aged nine, noticed that the paraffin lamp and that is when one of her siblings aged nine, noticed that the intruder was Maphosa.

It is alleged that Maphosa raped the woman three times on the same night and left in the early hours.

He is said to have threatened to kill her if she reported the matter to the police.

One of the siblings alerted neighbours. Mathe who had also gone to the scene shouted that the footprints were her husband's whom she had stayed with for four years.

The matter was reported to the police leading to the arrest of the suspect.

The victim was reportedly taken for Medical Examination and it was proved that she was raped.

Matabeleland North police could not be reached to comment on the issue.
