Saturday, January 11, 2025 -A Harare woman, Fadzai Chimboza, has been arrested and charged with aggravated indecent assault after allegedly f0rcing herself on her lodger's 10-year-old son.
Chimboza,
24, appeared before Harare regional magistrate Tilda Mazhande and was remanded
in custody until January 29.
According
to court documents, the abuse began in April 2024 when the boy, who lived with
his parents in a Warren Park 1 home owned by Chimboza’s family, was allegedly
lured into her room after school.
“She
pulled the boy into her room, undressed him, and instructed him to lie on the
bed,” the prosecutor revealed in court. When the boy resisted, Chimboza
allegedly told him, "NDINODA KUKUITA ZVISINA KUKWANA," which
translates to "I want to do indecent things to you."
The
abuse allegedly continued on several occasions before being discovered on
December 19, 2024, when the boy confided in his cousin, referring to Chimboza
as his "girlfriend." His mother overheard the conversation,
questioned him, and he disclosed the alleged incidents, leading to a police
report and Chimboza’s arrest.
During
her court appearance, Chimboza was not asked to enter a plea. Magistrate
Mazhande stated that “bail can only be considered by the High Court”.The boy is
currently receiving counselling, and police investigations are ongoing.
