Some Zimbabwean men are subhuman, cold-blooded, diabolic, Lucifer - in human-form

Nothing whatsoever, nothing is as barbaric as a man who engages sex with a toddler of three years. These atrocities are reported almost every week and are perpetrated by people who are very close to the children: relatives and fathers, one of them was reported in Bulawayo24 of 12th 05 2015. If Zimbabwe has a literacy level of 90%, sure they should know by now that having sex with a virgin does not cure HIV/AIDS, instead AIDS spreads rapidly across all ages right up to the very innocent people: the babies, toddlers, girls young women, those still perceived to be virgins. It defeats the mind and all normal senses how an average educated man will hunt for a virgin to have sex in the hope of passing the illness to the innocent child. In Zimbabwean context of witchcraft, this is indeed an act of witchcraft! Period! These twisted men will not even spare their own daughters. It is just inconceivable to imagine a man enjoying himself sexually with a child he sired. This has become a daily occurrence in Zimbabwe and across all ethnic societies. In almost all societies of this Earth, there are red lines that should never be crossed and one of them is sexual intimacy with a family member.
Man caught red handed raping daughter: by Thandeka Moyo: Bulawayo24: 12 May 2015
A 45-YEAR-OLD Binga man allegedly raped his daughter for three years before his wife caught him redhanded in the act last month. The man, who cannot be named for ethical reasons, had reportedly been having sexually abusing his daughter, 20, since 2013, right under his wife's nose. He would threaten to kill or disown her if she told anyone, a court heard. The man ran out of luck on April 15 when his wife found him helping himself to his daughter. He appeared briefly before Binga Magistrate Steven Ndlovu facing five counts of rape and was remanded in custody to 19 May for commencement of trial at the Hwange Regional Court. In his warned and cautioned statement, the man said he coveted his daughter and could not resist sleeping with her. Bruce Maphosa prosecuting said in October, 2013, the man pounced on his daughter then aged 18 and forced her to have sexual intercourse in his wife's absence. He went on to have sex with her thrice that same month and would threaten to kill or disown her if she revealed the matter to anyone. Sometime last month, the man grabbed his daughter and raped her once. Again on April 13, he also called the girl and raped her once threatening to chop off her head if she made noise or exposed him. The man's luck ran out when his wife stumbled on them in a compromising position on April 15. When she inquired what was happening, her daughter opened up and narrated how her father had been raping her since 2013, threatening to chase her away from the homestead if she told anyone of the sexual abuse. The mother made a police report leading to her husband's arrest.
Can these sick men show us one person who was cured of HIV/AIDS after have slept with a virgin? If they did not get the cure, do they seek yet another virgin to sleep with, have sex with to find a cure that had failed on the previous virgin? Again if they are not cured they will seek a third one, sexing at leisure and in the process becoming a hobby and occupational leisure to grab and pock their members on little toddlers. I would like to believe that sex in Zimbabwe has become a hobby for some men. This traditional, above average entitlement over women and children gives them absolute power to abuse, and sexually abuse females of all ages at they wish. It is an idle mind the devil's playground that send these twisted men just pock their penises and it is sex. Because in some societies Zimbabwe, women are not participants in sexual acts, some men envisage sex as the right of men and not women. It is for this reason that if sex is for men then they demand it from any age, if it cures a disease in the process. A Zimbabwean society cannot be called a civilized society by all accounts if our newspapers are inundated with reports of men caught having sex with a daughter, men grabbing a child of three and have sex with her, men taking young girls to the bush to have sex with them, a grandfather sleeping with a granddaughter of 14 years, a man sleeping with a step daughter of 13 years. We read these news almost every day in our social media and I am sure it this abnormal and satanic behaviour has become very normal to most of us. It is not normal at all, it is abnormal by all civilised standards. It is barbaric, cold blooded, satanic and stupid. It really defines the calibre of a man who will engage sexually with a child, girl, young woman who will not be a participant in the process.
Just days ago, we read news of a Manager of Highlanders,69 years old, has a child of two years whose mother is 22 years old. This is supposed to be grandfather to this girl, the girl was there screaming demanding maintenance from him. This girl must have been 20 years when she had sexual intercourse with the manager and he was 50 years when this girl was born. By all account even if this girl was of majority age, it is just absurd. Even the treatment she is getting from the manager is degrading her status as a woman and of course the child he is refusing to maintain. This manager got what he wanted, sex from this; could have been his granddaughter, and he must have given her some beer to drink, what he offers, when the girl actually wanted maintenance for the child he sired, certainly not beer, a child of two years does not drink beer. It is again this sense of entitlement that men think they can have it with any woman at any age that is destroying our societies.
I doubt it now if it is enough just to send these twisted men to prison and serve 20 years and come back to repeat what they have missed when they were in prison. These atrocities are a daily occurrence and the prisons will be filled to capacity because of these atrocities. Much as I am against capital punishment, the government must do something about this epidemic.
When our economy start to function again, when there is employment to many, there won't be much time to think about sex as a hobby. Women should be empowered so that they can stand on their own and not rely too much on their parents and husbands. This idea comes from the fact that some father actually told his daughter that if she reported the sexual case with him, she will be thrown out of the home. If there were structures in place that protect them, that girl or young woman would have left her father's home without hesitation. Such are issues that should be addressed in the coming dispensation, houses for women to resort to when they are in distress, sexually abused, battered women and girls, toddlers and babies. When people are educated about HIV/AIDS, then, only then can people know that having sex with a virgin does not cure the disease. In the meantime we just pray that today, just today, there won't be a baby, a toddler, a girl who is sexually abused by those who are supposed to protect her.
