Staff Reporter |Victory for Girl Child Network founder, Betty Makoni who led the campaign – Bikita West legislator, Munyaradzi Kereke has been convicted of raping his wife’s 11 year old niece in 2010.
When the case was heard last month, in his closing submissions, Mr Charles Warara said by refusing to be tried for the past five years, Kereke knew he was guilty of raping the minor and indecently assaulting her sister. The magistrate Mr Noel Mupeiwa set July 11 as the judgment day. “In the circumstances, we pray for a conviction as charged in respect of both counts as we proved the charges beyond reasonable doubt. If this case is therefore found not to be fabricated as claimed by the accused, it can only be the accused that is lying. He has to be found guilty as charged on both counts,” he said.
Mr Warara said if Kereke was innocent, he should have proved it in court.
“Accused took years to be brought to court with even the Prosecutor General shielding him. Can this be the character of a person who an ordinary citizen like complainant’s grandfather, Mr Maramwidze can frame? Do innocent people fight such serious cases in the corridors of power or he would dare any person with such allegations bring them to court.
“Accused has been refusing to come to court, but his protection crumbled when the Prosecutor-General was convicted by the Constitutional court. Is this the conduct of an innocent person? Will this court ignore this conduct and do justice to this case,” Mr Warara said. More to follow…

I think Grace has a point mate. Tomana’s case against him is now solid. It may not have been said in this judgement but tacitly it seems so. This judgement will be used as evidence that Tomana was corrupt and abused office by not prosecuting Kereke.
Grace is merely analysing the implications of this verdict that’s all. We can not just stand by facts, we should analyse and give it a bit of context too.

That indeed sets a precedence. If those ZANU PF thugs didnt have protection, they would all be in jail.

I do not see anywhere on the above article that refers to the magistrate commenting on why he found him guilty. The only reference to the magistrate is the part that says the magistrate found him guilty. Please read to understand not to reply.

I want Kereke to be found guilty. But what this magistrare is saying is not convincing. Looks to me like Kereke is being found guilty so his case can be used as evidence of Tomana corruption. Mugabe ! what an evil system
