A prophet of the Nguwo Tsvuku Apostolic Sect from Uzumba-Maramba-Pfungwe has been jailed 40 months for bedding a 15-year-old girl.
However, Madzibaba Simbi, real name Norman Simbi (38), will serve an effective 36 months after Mutawatawa magistrate, Edwin Marecha suspended four months of the sentence on condition of good behaviour when he is released.
The court heard that one afternoon in August this year at around 4pm at Nyamukondiwa Village, the 15-year-old girl was on her way home from the borehole when she met Simbi.
Simbi, who leads several shrines in the district, proposed love and the girl accepted.
In October, after meeting the 15-year-old girl at Yanai Village, Simbi asked to be intimate with her.
The girl reportedly accepted and they went into a nearby bush where they had consensual sex once.
The girl later eloped and the two became intimate on several occasions at Simbi’s homestead.
The girl’s mother reported the matter to police on 21 November.
Police carried out investigations, leading to Simbi’s arrest.
