A 69-year old Gokwe man allegedly raped his 11year-old daughter in a suspected case of ritual practices in a bid to amass 'wealth'.

The man, according to a local tabloid report, sometime last year until March this year, the man whose name cannot be disclosed tom protect the identity of the minor indulged in unprotected sex with his daughter while she was 10years old until she got pregnant.

It is said that the pedophile occasionally dragged the complaint to a nearby bush where he would rape her. Relatives, it is alleged, discovered the pregnancy before questioning about the man who was responsible for it.

Relatives were shocked to learn that the complainant had been impregnated by her father prompting them to report to police.

Giving his defence before a Bulawayo Court this week the man pleaded guilty and shockingly revealed that he had been instructed by a sangoma to sleep with his daughter in order to get rich.

The man was remanded in custody pending trial.
