Rayson Tsvangirai Rushwaya a teacher at
Vhembe Secondary School in Beitbridge has been released from custody
after being arrested for allegedly having sex with school girls because
the recent Constitutional Court ruling that outlaws child marriage has
not been gazzetted.
Citing the ruling, some women whose
children fall in the age group under spotlight that Rushwaya allegedly
slept with, impregnating some of them, last week made a report to
Beitbridge Police seeking to have him charged under the new law.
“We have no choice but to refer the
matter back to the Police because the new law has not been gazetted and
we have no statutory instrument provisions for that,” said a prosecutor.
He had been in custody for two days.
It is alleged that Rushwaya, using as a
conduit his niece from the same school and identified only as Rumbi,
lured schoolgirls to a hotel room where he allegedly gave them either
some intoxicating stuff or drugs before sexually ravaging them.
Some reports said Rushwaya was restless
and exhibited ruthless and unusual sex power throughout the night when
he was with his victims.
Matabeleland South Police Spokesperson Assistant Inspector Nkosilathi Sibanda said he has not received the report.local news.
