Prisoners caught red-handed in sodomy act

Two prisoners who were allegedly sodomising each other, made so much noise that they woke up another prisoner, who caught them red-handed in the act.

Christopher Jani (36) allegedly had "noisy" sex with his alleged male lover Mbonisi Ncube (28) in a cell at around 3am on 3 March.

Another prisoner, Edgar Majasi, allegedly woke up after hearing "high pitched sounds of delight" as the pair had sex and removed a blanket with which the "lovebirds" had covered themselves.

Majasi, who said he was disgusted by what he saw, reported the matter to prison officials who forwarded a report to the police leading to the duo's arrest.

Jani and Ncube appeared before magistrate Tancy Dube facing a charge of sodomy.

They were not asked to plead and they were remanded in custody to March 30.

However, they denied having sex saying Majasi only found them sharing a blanket.
