Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A 32-year-old woman, Adelight Ndlovu, from E70 Mine in Shangani, has avoided a custodial sentence after engaging in sexual activities with multiple men in front of her 12-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n

Instead, a Bulawayo magistrate fined Ndlovu US$300 and sentenced her to 210 hours of community service at Shangani Police Station, starting on February 28.<\/p>\n

As reported by ZimLive, the court heard that on unspecified dates in 2024, Ndlovu engaged in sexual activities with multiple partners in the presence of her daughter.<\/p>\n

During her initial appearance on February 25, Ndlovu pleaded guilty, claiming she was unaware that her daughter had witnessed the encounters.<\/p>\n

However, during her second appearance on February 26, she denied the charges, asserting that any such incidents may have occurred in 2023, as she claimed her children were residing at a different location in 2024.<\/p>\n

After further questioning, Ndlovu, who was not represented during her trial, eventually reaffirmed her guilty plea.<\/p>\n

The National Prosecuting Authority requested a custodial sentence, arguing that the offence was serious and constituted a grave breach of parental responsibility.<\/p>\n
