A 16-year-old epileptic girl from Bulawayo’s Nkulumane 5 high-density suburb had a fit, which saw her lose consciousness on New Year’s Eve after she allegedly had sexual intercourse with three teenage boys from the same suburb, Sunday News was informed.
The boys, Mr Kelvin Ndlovu (18), Mthokozisi Chibharo (19) and the third accomplice who can not be named as he is 17-years-old are said to have preyed on the girl (name supplied) because she was helplessly drunk.
The girl rubbished the allegations and said that she had the fits while trying to sleep at her boyfriend’s bedroom, where there was a party.
“Why do people hate me so much? I did not sleep with those three boys, I have boyfriend who I love so much. What actually happened is that I was so drunk that I vomited on my top. My boyfriend took me to the bathroom and removed my top to wash it he then took me to his room so that I could sleep while my top dried up.
“As I was getting into bed I had fits and my boyfriend called two of his friends to assist him in calming me down, but they failed. They then decided to call my mother who came and helped me,” she said.
The girl added that her mother, Mrs. Sandra Ncube, who was suspecting that she had been raped, then demanded to know why she was half-naked.
“My mother wanted to know why I was half-naked and I explained to her that I had vomited on my top. She accepted my explanation but not before she had shouted at me for drinking and for being in my boyfriend’s bedroom. I am shocked that people are now going around spreading rumours that I slept with three boys. I am not a whore and I know that there is AIDS, besides that I see myself as a girl with good morals. I know that the people who are spreading the rumours are those who were at the party, its sad that they have jumped to wrong conclusions,” she said.
Mr Ndlovu on Friday denied the allegations whilst the other two boys had gone into hiding.
“Those are lies, there is nothing like that. How can I allow my friends to sleep with my girlfriend? Do not listen to lies this issue makes me very angry. I will kill someone over this nonsense,” said Mr Ndlovu.
The mother, Mrs Ncube refused to comment on the alleged sexual escapades of her daughter, preferring to talk about her daugheter’s alcohol binges.
“As far as I am concerned my daughter did not sleep with anyone so I will not dignify the rumours that my daughter slept with three boys by talking about them. What I can tell you is that I told my daughter to stop drinking alcohol and going to her boyfriend’s home because that might lead her to trouble. Yes I admit that I was suspicious after finding her half-naked but my suspicions were unfounded. People should stop rumour mongering because they are tarnishing not only my daughter’s image but the Ncube clan,” said Mrs Ncube.
People who were at the New Year’s Eve party were however adamant that the girl had sex with the three boys.
Mr Michael Sithole said that he actually saw the three boys dragging the girl to Mr Ndlovu’s bedroom where they took turns to sleep with her.
“Yes I admit that the girl was drunk, but she knew what was going on. Why is she denying the obvious, it clearly shows that she wanted to sleep with them, otherwise this could have been a police case by now. I saw the four of them talking, the girl was probably charmed my flashy clothes that Kelvin and his friends were spotting. It is a lie that she is Kelvin’s girlfriend, I know Kelvin he does not have a girlfriend, he broke up with his girlfriend recently,” said Mr Sithole.
A girl who requested anonymity, who was also at the party reiterated Mr Sithole’s sentiments.
“They are denying the truth because they are ashamed that they were discovered. You should know that sleeping with more than one boy is not a new thing around here, it happens almost everyday. The problem here is that the girl had fits, so every one is talking about that and the fact that the girl’s mother had to be summoned. Otherwise this could not have been discovered because only a few people at the party knew what was going on. They only found out when the girl’s mother came,” she said.
