Man reports gay partner, both arrested for sodomy

Zim Now Writer

Kwekwe police have arrested a gay couple who had been living together since July, after one of them approached the police demanding that his partner be arrested for initially lying to him that he was a woman.

Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko said police, however, arrested both men after investigations revealed that the two have been staying together while engaging in sodomy.

The two are now facing sodomy charges.

Insp Mahoko said: “It is alleged that during the month of July, on an unknown date, one of the suspects, James Mpofu, 40, of Narrans Building in Kwekwe met with Praise Mapawu, 25, in a night club who pretended to be a woman while dressed like a woman.

“Mpofu proposed love to Mapawu and the two started to stay together since then while engaging in sodomy.”

Insp Mahoko said the two then had an argument after Mapawu got erect as they were cuddling in preparation for intimacy recently.

“Mpofu reported Mapawu to the police and the two were arrested.”
