A 27 year-old man Gift Clemence will spend the next 13 years in jail after being convicted for raping his 11 year-old cousin in Mchinji.
State prosecutor Humphreys Makhaliha told the Mchinji magistrate court that the convict raped the child on February 20, 2017 at Nakaleti village in the area of Traditional Authority Zulu in Mchinji.
Makhaliha said that the accused managed to sexually abuse the girl after taking advantage of the absence of his wife who had left previous day before the incident to visit her parents.
After the issue was revealed, the girl was referred to Mchinji District Hospital where medical practitioners established that she was indeed raped.
In his judgment, First Grade Magistrate Rodwell Meja Phiri convicted the accused under section 138 of the penal code after he pleaded guilty.
Before the sentence was imposed, the convict pleaded for leniency stating that he is married, has four children, and takes care of four orphans.
But Magistrate Meja denounced the evil act saying it is the duty of court to impose stiff penalties in order to reduce the trend. He then sentenced the convict to 13 years in jail.
The convict Gift Clemence hails from Nakaleti village in the area of traditional authority Zulu in Mchinji.

NO they agreed each other to pay K 2000,, now aftr the guy rejected to gv the mony to his cousen. Thats y she decided to inform the police and arest the guy
The appropriate charge in this matter is *defilement*…this charge is levelled against any person who has had carnal knowlegde (sex) with a girl below the age of sixteen. By it’s very nature, defilement does not allow the accused to plead *consent* as a defence ( the accused can not say the girl accepted to have sex with him ….court, according to law, does not accept this defence). In this matter therefore, it was not possible for accused to plead consent….the girl is 13 years of age (below 16). I may extend it to your comment to say even though the two might have agreed to pay k2000 for the said sex, the agreement is void at the instance of a minor. Thus, the conviction and the subsquent sentence.
i get your point and ur right@ BERNAM CHIBWANA
