Joel Moyo (32) of Bulawayo, has been ordered to pay $2 000 in damages to Nataly Madziwa (19) for taking her virginity and dumping her afterwards. Madziwa sued Moyo for $8 000 in seduction damages saying that he had lied to her that he was a bachelor and promised to marry her. She claimed that due to the fact that she was no longer a virgin, her chances of getting married had also gone down.
However, Magistrate Sheunesu Matova reduced the damages to $2 000. In her application Madziwa said:
Sometime in 2015 while I was doing Upper Six at Pumula High School, the defendant (Moyo) proposed love to me and I accepted. On April 19, 2015, Moyo came to my home and picked me up. He then persuaded me to have sex with him
I was never married before and after deflowering and impregnating me, Moyo has taken away my pride as a woman and left me embarrassed and humiliated before my parents, peers and the community
