ZIMBABWE – A group of female sperm harvesters is reportedly on the loose in Bulawayo after three women drugged and sexually assaulted a man who they had given a lift.

Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Abednico Ncube, told The Chronicle on Monday evening, that three unknown women allegedly waylaid a 26-year-old man from the Pumula South suburb. They pretended to be asking for directions and offered him a lift so that he could show them around. Said Insp Ncube:

Police in Bulawayo are investigating a case of aggravated indecent assault whereby a male adult aged 26 of Pumula South was sexually abused by three unknown female adults.

Circumstances are that on the 27th of June 2022 at around 1900 hours the complainant was walking along an unnamed tarred road in Old Pumula, Bulawayo when he was stopped by one unknown female adult who was driving a blue Honda Fit (registration number unknown). The driver asked the complainant for directions to reach Ashy’s Sports Bar, Pumula South, Bulawayo. The complainant offered to accompany the accused person since he was also going in the same direction.

The complainant entered the car and observed that there were two women seated at the back who made him sit in the middle.

He was offered an unknown type of beer which he drank once before losing consciousness only to wake up on a bed with the three women naked.

As they undressed him, he lost consciousness again and only woke up the next morning, dumped near Robert Sinyoka Primary School.

The matter was reported to the police station.

Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers Association president, Mr George Kandiero, said the victim will be in a semi-conscious but sexually aroused state.

He added that the semen will be used for money rituals or even to fix certain men or lure them.

He said the victims need to be spiritually cleansed because the encounter will affect them in bed as they won’t perform anymore and spiritually, they’re no longer okay.

He said the sperm has to be taken by duress as the spells will not work if it is given up voluntarily.
