A police officer based at Matapi Police Station in Mbare, Harare, appeared in court on Thursday on allegations of raping and robbing a woman at a cemetery.
Tarisai Sithole (35) was facing charges of robbery and rape when he appeared before Harare magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa, reported <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/cop-robs-rapes-victim-in-cemetery/">The Herald</a>.
Sithole was remanded out of custody to July 9 for trial date allocation.
Prosecuting, Lancelot Mutsokoti alleged that on 26 April 2024, the complainant disembarked from a commuter omnibus at Simon Mazorodze flyover in Harare. She was approached by Sithole, who was in the company of his accomplice who is still at large.
Sithole and his accomplice allegedly took the victim to Pioneer Cemetery in Mbare, where they forcibly took her bag containing her documents and property before they took turns to rape her.
It is further alleged that the victim went to ZRP Matapi to report the incident. Whilst she was in the charge office, Sithole entered wearing civilian clothes.
The victim identified Sithole, who then took her aside and threatened her not to report the matter. She, however, told police officers who were present that she had been raped by Sithole.

Police Officer Robs, Rapes Victim In Cemetery

Over 100 graves at Warren Hills Cemetery in Harare were desecrated this week by unidentified individuals, whose motives remain unknown.
Chief Parks and Cemeteries Officer Godfrey Batsirai Munetsi told <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/witchcraft-fears-as-100-graves-desecrated-in-3-days-at-harare-cemetery/">ZimLive</a> on Thursday that the people have been entering the cemetery at night since Tuesday this week and damaging tombstones. Said Munetsi:
<blockquote>
We have no concrete leads or the motive behind the desecration of graves but we cannot rule out witchcraft because there are a lot of these that happen during the night in cemeteries.
It could be about rituals as evidenced by a previous case at a Mbare cemetery where a mentally deranged man would destroy tombstones with crucifixes only.
We have alerted the police and also continue to monitor because strange movements continue to happen during the night.
</blockquote>
It is suspected that this is the work of more than one person given that more than 100 graves have been damaged in only three days.
Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers Association (ZINATHA) president George Kandiero said that witchcraft cannot be ruled out. He said:
<blockquote>
A lot of things happen especially nowadays where people are in a rush for money and power.
They can be ordered by sorceresses to destroy graves in order to accumulate power and wealth.
</blockquote>
One Theresa Nyoni told ZimLive that she unveiled her late father’s tombstone in December last year and she was shattered to find it damaged. She said:
<blockquote>
This is honestly disturbing to see after just four months of the tombstone unveiling,” she told ZimLive.
God will punish these criminals and we are going to get to the bottom of all this.
</blockquote>
In April 2022, thieves stole thousands of memorial plaques from Warren Hills Cemetery in two months.
The City of Harare officials overseeing the cemetery said they suspected that the thieves were selling the expensive brass plaques to scrap metal dealers.
The metals would use the brass to make various jewellery items such as rings and bracelets.
In Zimbabwe, violating graves or corpses is criminalised under sections 110 and 111 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act [Chapter 9:23] which says:
<blockquote>
110 Violating graves
Any person who violates a grave in which human remains are situated, knowing that he or she is doing so or realising that there is a real risk or possibility that he or she may be doing so, shall be guilty of violating a grave and liable to a fine not exceeding level seven or imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year or both.
111 Violating corpses
(1) Any person who damages, mutilates, removes pieces from or otherwise violates a dead human body, knowing that he or she is doing so or realising that there is a real risk or possibility that he or she may be doing so, shall be guilty of violating a corpse and liable to a fine up to or exceeding level fourteen or imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years or both.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), it shall be lawful for any person;
(a) to remove tissue from or carry out a post-mortem examination on or otherwise deal with a dead human body in accordance with the Inquests Act [Chapter 7:07], the  Anatomical Donations and Post-mortem Examinations Act [Chapter 15:01], or any other enactment; or 
(b) to do anything necessary for the purpose of embalming a dead human body or preparing it for burial, cremation or other lawful disposal.

100 Graves Desecrated In 3 Days At Warren Hills Cemetery

Church leaders have condemned the desecration of Zinyengere Cemetery in the dormitory town of Epworth by sand poachers.
Reports indicate that several graves at the site have been exhumed, with the human remains thrown into the nearby Jacha stream by the sand poachers.
Methodist Church in Zimbabwe (MCZ) superintendent for Epworth Circuit, Reverend Josias Mudenda, said:
<blockquote>
I have gone to the graveyard many times to bury fellow church members, only to see what is happening there. It is an eyesore.
The Bible even says graveyards are sacred places. In the Bible, Nehemiah said he could not rest while the place of his fathers’ graves lies waste and the gates are consumed by fire, showing the respect he had for the dead.
I believe that graves should be walled and gated. The local authority needs to work with the community to protect this site.
</blockquote>
The sand poachers are said to be led by a man only known as Christopher.
Meanwhile, Isaac Chirimba, a senior resident of Epworth, criticised the sand poachers for disrespecting the dead. He said:
<blockquote>
These youths are very disrespectful. What they are doing is taboo. Invading a graveyard to earn a few dollars is unacceptable in our society.
Last month, we went to the cemetery to bury a relative and discovered that some of the graves were missing, much to our surprise.
We were shocked when we found a skull and bones scattered all over the place.
</blockquote>
Another senior citizen, Gogo Hilda Sithole, said the sand poachers have access to the graveyard after vandalising a perimeter wall that had been erected at the cemetery by locals. She said:
<blockquote>
Epworth is my home. I have been here with my family since 1960. We used to bury children in this place you now see as plain ground. There is nothing to show that there were graves there.
This is all the work of sand poachers, who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
</blockquote>
Epworth Local Board secretary Wilton Mhanda conceded that sand poachers were a menace but said the issue has been blown out of proportion. He said:
<blockquote>
Yes, there are sand poachers, but the situation is exaggerated. We usually conduct raids and culprits are brought to book.
</blockquote>
ZRP community liaison officer for Epworth, Sergeant Maliana Davis, said they were not aware of any cemetery invasion by sand poachers. She said:
<blockquote>
As Epworth ZRP, we are committed to duty. The last time council engaged us was, when some people were constructing houses in the cemetery. We worked together well on the matter.

Methodist Church Pastor Condemns "Desecration" Of Graveyard In Epworth

Villagers in Kanengoni village under Chief Negomo in Chiweshe are distressed after illegal gold panners invaded a cemetery in the area in search of gold.
Kraal head, Garikayi Kanengoni, confirmed the development to H-Metro saying the illegal miners were expected to appear before Chief Negomo. He said:
<blockquote>
I received information that there were some illegal miners operating at the village cemetery and I could not believe it.
As kraal head, I engaged Chief Negomo’s secretary and we visited the anthill where we lay to rest our relatives, and where our forefathers were laid to rest.
It is unbelievable that the miners failed to respect the dead and went on to expose some of the graves, in search of gold.
The matter has disturbed villagers and we agreed that this must stop.
Vamwe vana vacho ndevemumusha handizive kuti kana vavekufukunura makuva tochivigira kupi vafi uye isu tikafa tinovigwa kupi. (Some of the culprits are locals and I’m concerned that we won’t have a burial place anymore as they are digging up the cemetery.)
Families have been clashing over this matter and it has been stopped and appropriate action has been taken.
The people involved are expected to appear before Chief Negomo this Saturday and I promise that this will surely be brought to a halt.
</blockquote>
Authorities have turned a blind eye to the desecration of the cemetery as they are reportedly being given gold to allow the mining to continue.
