A self styled prophet from Govere Village under headman Kwenda, Chief Neshangwe in Sadza District has appeared in court after he allegedly raped and infected a form four whizkid with an STI on the guise of exorcising her of an evil spirits.
The crime only came to light after the girl suffered stomach pains linked to the STI.
Mudyiwa appeared before Chivhu Regional Magistrate Fadzai Mtombeni facing three charges of raping the pupil from Neshangwe Secondary School.
The brilliant pupil told the court that she suspected an infection after Kunzwana Kwevapostori Church founder and Prophet Percy Mudyiwa (42) of Bolton Farm, Village 1, Plot 11, Wedza raped her on three different occasions.
It is the State case that sometime in October last year, the complainant visited Mudyiwa's church located at a bushy area at Govere Village where she wanted to be cleansed of evil spirits. The accused person then proposed love to the complainant and the complainant turned down the proposal.
Mudyiwa intimidated the complainant saying that she was being haunted by evil spirits and he was the only one who could cleanse her. On November 8, the accused followed the complainant as she was going to school, grabbed her when they had got to a secluded area and raped her once.
It is the State case that the complainant bled and wiped the blood with a handkerchief. Mudyiwa threatened to stab the complainant if she divulged the matter to anyone. He also ordered the complainant to accompany him to a nearby stream to wash off the blood.
On the second count, on November 22 the complainant passed through the accused's homestead on her way to school and Mudyiwa followed and raped her again. The accused ordered the complainant to bath before she left him at a nearby stream. The complainant did not tell anyone about the abuse.
On the last count, the accused caught up with the complainant at a secluded area whilst she was on her way to school and raped her again.
On December 5, last year, the complainant felt some stomach pains and told her grandmother who questioned her about the cause of the illness and the complainant divulged that she suspected that the accused person could have infected her with a disease when he sexually abused her. A report was made to ZRP Sadza Police leading to the arrest of Mudyiwa.
