Silobela man on the run after raping, robbing 30 women

A 27-year-old Silobela man is reported to have raped and robbed 30 women in Parker, Mutimutema village.

The suspect, Stanford Ntini Sibanda is reported to have brought untold suffering to Silobela villagers.

Apparently he is said to be currently on police wanted list and he has been elusive to the police since September 2016.

Speaking to Bulawayo24.com the village head of Parker village 2, Mr Phenious Moyo Mupandawana (85) said he does not condone crime in his village and is appealing to the public to join hands with police in  apprehending Ntini.

"Ntini is a problem child he breaks into people's houses armed with machetes rapes women and rob them of their valuables.

"We are appealing to the public to join hands with the police so that the notorious criminal is arrested.

"In my village I do not condone crime, criminals should face the wrath of law," thundered Moyo.

Several women who were interviewed by this reporter said they live in fear since Ntini does not choose on who to pounce on and he does not use protection in his shenanigans.

Meanwhile, his accomplice Clifford Moyo is battling for life at Parirenyatwa group of hospital in Harare after he was shot by the police last month, after he disarmed and bashed police officers who were trying to arrest Ntini.

Moyo gave room for Ntini to flee while he attacked the police. However, the police finally over powered him and shot him twice while he was running away.

One police officer cheated death in the scuffle after he was strangled by Moyo and was hospitalised at Silobela general hospital for two weeks.
