Man in Trouble For Sleeping With Neighbor’s Wife After Disguising as Her Husband

Twenty-seven-year-old Nkosilathi Sibanda has landed in a Zimbabwean Magistrates’ court for allegedly sleeping with his neighbour’s wife after disguising as her husband.

When he was arraigned before Magistrate Hosiah Mujaya, Sibanda was charged with rape.

The prosecutor, Timothy Makoni told the court, “On October 22 at around 3am, Sibanda who knew that the victim’s husband had not returned home, tip-toed into her bedroom while naked.


“Sibanda quickly opened the door and saw the victim sleeping on the bed. He allegedly crept into her blankets and started kissing and touching the woman who then responded thinking it was her husband.

“The accused became intimate with the woman and at that moment she discovered that it was not her husband. She pushed Sibanda away, jumped from the bed and rushed to switch on the light.

“The victim was shocked to see her co-tenant’s husband undressed in her bed and screamed for help. She fought with Sibanda and slapped him twice in the face, but all he could do was to ask for forgiveness.

“He then rushed back to his bedroom as the victim kept on screaming for help, alerting neighbours.”

The court further heard that people then gathered at the house and questioned Sibanda why he had committed the offence and he kept on apologising.

He was then reported to the police and arrested.
