I'm
sorry; I found this story absolutely comical! I was going to write about a
teenager, who was forced by her adopted mother to be artificially inseminated
to have a child for her, but the girl was 16 and in most parts of this country,
having a kid at 16 years of age is really no big deal. Being kidnapped and
raped by a woman in Zimbabwe is, however, very newsworthy!
It
turns out; a Zimbabwe soldier was kidnapped and repeatedly raped by a gang of
women for four days before being dumped on a remote mountain range and stoned.
According to police in Zimbabwe, the 25-year-old was willingly picked up by two
women and man in a Mercedes, who offered him a ride to the Zimbabwean city of
Mutare, but after driving in the right direction for about an hour, the driver
suddenly took a turn in a different direction, threatening his victim with a
knife to the throat to keep quiet. One of the female passengers then
blindfolded him with a black cloth. The gang, who is yet to be caught, took the
man to a house, where they stole $35 cash and his cell phone before stripping
him naked. Over the next four days, he was forced to be intimate with the women
several times. Yes, they got violent with him when he refused, which in a weird
way does make this rape. I don't think rape in general is funny but this
particular scenario to me was amusing. Can't you picture a naked Zimbabwe
soldier fighting off women and saying, "Get off of me, don't put that in
your mouth!" or "Don't stick that in there!" I find it extremely
hard to believe he was forced to have sex with them. Then again, I have no idea
what these women looked like.
After
the four-day-rape fest, the gang again blindfolded, the soldier and took him to
the Dangamvura Mountains, where they threw rocks at his feet, which back in the
day was known as stoning, a form of capital punishment whereby a group throws
stones at a person until they died. In this instance, the soldier didn't die
from the stones being thrown at his feet, but the rapists did drive off leaving
him for dead. The soldier eventually managed to make his way to the Sakubva
Police Station to report his sordid ordeal. You know what I think? He should've
just shut up and taken the free sex for four days! After all, it only cost him
$35, a cell phone and a stoning! In some countries, a four-day sex fest would
cost way more than that!
