A 76-year-old visually impaired man - Ndawana Phinias Ndlovu of Lupanda Village under Chief Mabhikwa gave court officials a tough time in court.
Ndlovu was accused of allegedly raping a 3-year-old girl.
Apparently, he was disturbed by a female relative who came looking for the girl and entered his bedroom hut where she caught him raping the minor.
However, in court, Ndlovu pulled out a show by attempting to undress in the courtroom in protest as he refused to respond to questions from the magistrate.
Hwange regional magistrate Mrs Dambudzo Malunga did not ask Ndlovu to plead and remanded him in custody to July 8.
Ndlovu is now due for a medical examination by two psychiatric doctors.
Ndlovu allegedly raped the toddler on May 20 this year.
"On May 20, at 9am the little girl was playing behind the accused's bedroom hut when he lifted her and entered the room with her," said prosecutor Tawanda Sigauke.
While in the hut, Ndlovu allegedly placed the girl on a bed and undressed her before raping her once, the court was told.
