Ms. Juliet Mavura (19) was allegedly raped by an armed police officer at Charleswood Estate on Saturday the 27th of March. Ms. Mavura, who was employed by an unnamed farm teacher as a maid, has since made a report and at least one suspect called Tendai. T.I. has apparently been arrested by Chimanimani Police.
Juliet Mavura alleges that at 19:30hrs there was a knock at her door. When she went to investigate who it was, she met four uniformed and armed police officers at the door. They accused her of being too proud and they started to assault her whilst in handcuffs.
The police officers tore off her clothes during the beating and they removed the handcuffs. Three police officers left the scene leaving Tendai. T. I. behind. Tendai is alleged to have raped the girl twice before disappearing into the dark.
When the security guards from the Estates came, Tendai had already gone. They made a police report and Officer in Charge Inspector Ruzvidzo made an assurance that he would make sure the police officer had been arrested.
On the 6th of February, Violet Ngwenya was allegedly raped by a settler named Chamunorwa Muusha and two young female farm workers were allegedly sexually molested at Charleswood Estate by settlers led by police sergent Nasho. These attacks lead to a series of confrontations, finally resulting in the murder of Sheni Chimbarara, by a member of the Zimbabwe National army on Saturday, the 7th of February.
