A Harare sangoma, Jimson Nyasara, was yesterday charged with fraud and three counts of rape after he repeatedly raped a woman who had consulted him for quick riches.

Nyasara was remanded out of custody to July 12, for trial commencement.

He is alleged to have told the complainant it was important that she spent a night at a cemetery and she had to be naked.

She ended up being repeatedly raped by the sangoma.

After raping her, he allegedly continued to demand sex in a series of meetings, claiming it was necessary for the magic he was performing to work.

Nyasara charged the woman US$800 and US$100 as consultation fee.

He allegedly repeatedly raped her after convincing her that he needed to mix her vaginal fluids and his semen for the ritual to work.

The woman had approached Nyasara, who operates from Fidelity Phase 2, in July last year.

Nyasara assured her that he would give her a charm that would make her very rich.

He invited the woman to his place again in November last year and told her to book a room at a certain lodge.

After she booked a room, the woman called Nyasara who joined her and told her that he had to sleep with her so that he could collect his semen and mix it with her vaginal fluids.

He claimed he would take this to Mozambique where he would get the charm for quick riches.

The woman agreed to have protected sex and Nyasara asked her to wipe herself with a cloth and then poured contents from the condom onto the cloth.

He allegedly raped her again in December last year and in January.

She reported Nyasara to the police for rape when the quick riches did not materialise leading to Nyasara’s arrest.
