Allegations are that sometime last year in July, Makukula took advantage of his wife’s absence at his farm in Mazowe to rape the complainant.
According to the state case, the victim went to take a bath and Makukula followed her before proceeding to rape her in the bathroom.
He then threatened her not to report the rape.
