A MAN from Bulawayo's Entumbane suburb Mthokozisi Ngwenya, 33 has been arrested for promising to pay his underage tenants maid $3 for sex.
The girl is aged 15.
Ngwenya allegedly promised to pay the girl $3 after their one-off encounter.
Ngwenya allegedly took advantage of the girl, when her employer Thembeni Mathe was out of town.
The court heard that Ngwenya expressed interest in sleeping with the girl as they were watching television in his dining room early this month.
The girl allegedly told him that she was too young to indulge in sex, a court heard.
"I spent the whole night with the accused person in his bedroom and I didn't scream to alert others who were sleeping in the next room. He said he was going to pay me $3," said the girl.
The matter came to light when the girl told her employer what had transpired.
Ngwenya appeared before Western Commonage magistrate Themba Chimiso facing a rape charge.
Chimiso did not ask him to plead and granted him $100 bail.
Prosecuting, Mufaro Mageza said on May 12 this year, the girl was watching television with Ngwenya when he told the girl to switch off the television and retire to bed.
"The complainant told the accused person that he should proceed to bed since she still wanted to watch television.
"He, however, insisted that she should switch it off and accompany him to his bedroom," said Mageza.
"When the complainant refused, he grabbed her and forced her into his bedroom. The accused told the complainant that he wanted to engage in sex with her and she refused but he went on to remove her clothes. He had sex with her without using protection."
The prosecutor said Ngwenya spent the night with the girl and promised to give her $3, but did not pay her.
