Security guard wails after getting four years in prison for sex with 13-year old

Midlands Provincial Magistrate Mrs Phathekile Msipa had to order Wilson Muzanenhamo to “cool down” after he started wailing in court. He was found guilty on his own plea and sentenced to 4 years in prison for having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old Grade Seven pupil. One year was suspended. In her ruling Magistrate Msipa said:

The accused person had unprotected sexual intercourse with the girl knowing that she was a minor — a Grade Seven pupil — risking her contracting HIV and other sexual related diseases. It’s quite clear that the accused person was only using the complainant for sexual intercourse since he has a wife and children at home,

The age difference between the accused person and the complainant shows that the accused person was taking advantage of the minor and it’s the court’s duty to protect young and vulnerable children.
