Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Buhera<\/b> man who trafficked a married woman to Masvingo Province and stayed with her against her will from November 2021 to January 2022 has been sentenced to spend the next 70 years in jail.<\/p>\n

Witness Jichichi of Muchuwa Village under Chief Nyashanu was not represented by anyone when he appeared before Rusape regional magistrate, Mr Francis Mapfumo.<\/p>\n

He was convicted on one count of human trafficking and sentenced to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Jichichi was also convicted on three counts of rape and was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment in each of the cases.<\/p>\n

He, however, was acquitted of deliberately infecting the woman with HIV, according to Manica Post.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor, Mr Marlon Makamba said Jichichi lied to the victim and her husband that he was an employee of a development partner and could facilitate the couple\u2019s employment within the organisation in Masvingo.<\/p>\n

He tricked the husband to remain behind in the village and lied that he was going to the development partner\u2019s local offices to sign the employment contract with the complainant.<\/p>\n

Instead, he took the unsuspecting woman into captivity.<\/p>\n

After tricking the complainant and her husband, Jichichi went with the complainant to an unknown place in Masvingo.<\/p>\n

While in Masvingo, Jichichi would force himself on the woman and in the process, he \u201cdeliberately\u201d infected her with HIV.<\/p>\n

The woman told the court that while in Masvingo, she stayed at a farm with Jichichi and he would always act like her bodyguard, following her around.<\/p>\n

Jichichi only released his captive after learning that the woman\u2019s relatives were looking for her on both formal and social media platforms.<\/p>\n
