A 72 year old Harare man raped his tenant's 10 old daughter after promising to give her pumpkins growing in his garden when they are ripe, the court heard yesterday.
Richard Nhamo was facing rape charges when he appeared yesterday before magistrate Mr Elijah Makomo.
It is alleged that Nhamo saw the minor playing alone outside and called her to the garden. He took advantage that they were at a secluded place and pushed the minor to the ground before raping her.
He was remanded in custody and ordered to apply for bail at the High Court.
He will be back in court on March 8 for continuation of his trial.
