A 26-YEAR-OLD serial rapist from Karoi was jailed 30 years after being convicted of three counts of rape.

On one count, Nyasha Muza raped his drinking mate’s wife on Christmas Day. He told her that her husband had sent him to sleep with her.

In a statement on X, the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) said on 25 December 2021 the complainant was asleep in her room with her two children when Muza came and knocked on the door.

“Не claimed that he had been sent by the complainant’s husband, whom he had been drinking with, to have sexual intercourse with her. He pushed the complainant onto the bed and raped her. The complainant told Muza that the act was painful, after which Muza stopped and told her that he will continue another day”.

“The complainant informed a neighbour who rushed to find the complainant’s husband. They searched for Muza but failed to locate him. A police report was made but Muza could not be located. He was later arrested on the 23 May after committing a similar offence, in which he raped a 19 year-old woman. He was sentenced to an effective 30 years imprisonment”, said the NPAZ
