IN an act of great betrayal, a 24-year-old man from Bulawayo’s Mzilikazi suburb has been arrested for allegedly raping his friend’s 26-year-old girlfriend.

Thabo Sibanda betrayed his friend’s trust when he allegedly raped his lover after he offered them accommodation at his place.

The incident was confirmed by Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube.

Allegations against Sibanda are that on 19 June 2022 he was at Happy Valley Bar drinking beer with the victim and her boyfriend.

It is reported that at around midnight, the trio left Happy Valley Bar going to Sibanda’s place.

Upon arrival Sibanda allowed the victim and her boyfriend to sleep in his bedroom while he slept in the sitting room.

It is alleged that before they slept the victim and her boyfriend had sex once.

It is further reported that at around 4 am her boyfriend woke up and went to his place, leaving her sleeping in Sibanda’s bedroom. 

Seeing that the victim’s lover had gone, Sibanda seized the opportunity when he went into the bedroom and started caressing her from her back.

The victim, who thought it was her boyfriend who had come back, responded favourably before the two went on to have unprotected sex.

After the act, the victim switched on the torch and that’s when she realised that it was Sibanda not her boyfriend who had had sex with her.

After realising that she immediately phoned her boyfriend informing him of what had transpired and the boyfriend advised her to report the matter to the police leading to the arrest of Sibanda.
