A 48-year-old Zimbabwean illegal gold panner, popularly known
as ‘Umakorokoza’ was recently dragged to court by his wife for allegedly infecting
her with HIV after keeping his status a secret.
The shocking discovery had left the woman devastated, which
informed why she sought for redress.
It is reported that the woman who had been impregnated by the
accused man went to the clinic for a medical check-up where she was tested for
HIV and was found to be positive.
The man appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Sharon Rosemani
facing a charge of transmission of HIV.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Prosecuting, Nkathazo Dlodlo alleged that the two are husband
and wife. He said sometime in June at Manor Hotel, along corner 8th Avenue and
Lobengula Street, the two who were in a relationship had consensual sexual
inter course without protection.
It is said that the woman later reported her husband to the
police, leading to his arrest.
“I suspected that he was cheating for a long time following
his change in behaviour and lack of interest when it comes to sex. I was
surprised when I learnt that he was hiding such a thing,” said the woman.
