Mickias Magavagava, 60, from Mount Hampden will spend the next 12 years behind bars after he was convicted of raping a teenage girl who stayed in the same house. Magavagava used a freezit to lure the victim into his bedroom, where he went on to force her to lie on the bed facing upwards before undressing and raping her twice. He ordered the victim to take a bath and not to disclose the rape. However, the victim told her friends who advised her not to bath and to report the matter to the police.

Harare magistrate Bianca Makwande convicted Magavagava and noted that people like him deserve to be sent to prison because they abused the trust the victims had in them. Said Makwande,

The complainant looked up to you as a guardian or as a grandparent, but you went on to destroy her being. Her future is shattered because of your actions and a custodial sentence will be a lesson to the accused as well as would be offenders.
