A member of crowd-church preacher Walter Magaya has been charged for raping a 6 year old girl.
Shadreck Zviripayi (20), who is a commuter omnibus hwindi, allegedly offered a lift to a six-year-old school girl and took her to an unknown location where he raped her.
Zviripayi who is from Epworth is reported to have left the driver of the kombi behind and offered the victim – a Grade One pupil who was coming from school -a lift in Queensdale.
Zviripayi, who is employed at Wadawarova Transport, yesterday appeared in court before Mr Mahwe charged with rape.
Mr Mahwe remanded him in custody to April 28 after the State led by Mrs Idah Maromo opposed bail.
Zviripayi was advised to approach the High Court for bail due to the gravity of his offence.
He is being represented by Mr John Mugoko of Gunje and Chasakara Law Firm.
It is the State’s case that on March 31, the minor was coming from school when she boarded a kombi which was being driven by Zviripayi.
After all the other passengers had dropped off, Zviripayi is said to have taken the victim to an unknown house where he had anal sex with her, the court heard.
After the act, Zviripayi allegedly dropped the minor near her house and ordered her not to tell anyone. He then sped off. The victim did not disclose the rape to anyone until she developed some sores on her back prompting her mother to question her.
She then opened up and police investigations led to Zviripayi’s arrest.
