WTF AFRICA- HIM TING DEH NAH SLEEP

Bulawayo) There was drama at the Bulawayo magistrates as a man charged with statutory rape entered the court room with one hand holding his manhood and pleaded for sympathy because of a stubborn 12day continuous erection.

Phumuzani Ndlovu, 25, of Nyamandlovu, appeared before a Bulawayo magistrate with one hand holding his manhood on Monday for charges of having sex with a minor.

The Attorney-General’s Office facilitated Ndlovu’s bail application so he could go out and seek treatment.

“Your worship, we have the consent of the Attorney-General’s Office to entertain bail because of the accused’s condition. We are not opposed to bail, all this stems from a humanitarian point of view. We are reliably informed by the police that the accused has had an erection for 18 days now and he really needs medical attention. If the court uses its discretion to grant him bail, we will attach conditions to it,” submitted the prosecutor, Goodluck Katenaire.

Ndlovu who faces up to 10 years in jail if convicted, told magistrate Godwin Sengweni his penis had been erect for 12 days since he had sex with the 15-year-old girl on July 13.

He believes a spell has been cast on him and he pleaded to be released on bail to seek traditional remedies for his condition.

Prosecutor Goodluck Katenaire said: “We are not opposed to bail … from a humanitarian point of view.”

Magistrate Sengweni, who had earlier asked Ndlovu what he was “suffering from”, appeared to be touched by the man’s hard plight and bailed him to appear on August 15.

Ndlovu said it was ulunyoka/runyoka (a spell cast for sexual indiscretion).

“Who told you that it was ulunyoka?” asked the magistrate.

Ndlovu responded: “I went to Nyamandlovu District Hospital and they advised me to seek traditional remedies as they said they could not help at all. I was not suffering from this before I slept with the girl.”

The court heard that the victim alighted from a bus coming from Bulawayo late at night and sought accommodation at Ndlovu’s home at George Silundika Plots in Nyamandlovu. He allegedly had consensual sex with her during the night.

But a day later, Ndlovu is alleged to have gone to the girl’s school looking for her after the boner refused to go away. Teachers at the school called her grandmother who in turn reported the matter to the police.

He was not asked to plead to charges of raping the 15-year-old girl and was remanded to August 15 for trial if his condition improves.
