Deception and a fake husband setup
- Shamiso Melinda Sigara, 18, allegedly pitched herself as a male partner to a 16-year-old.
- November kicked off the act, and the minor bought the whole boyfriend story.
- Over months, Sigara kept the guy persona locked in tight.
- By February 12, she had the teen pack up and move into Overspill.
- Nighttime at the Overspill house is when prosecutors say things crossed a line.
- Court papers claim an object was forced into the girl twice.
- Sigara allegedly pretended she had male anatomy during the encounters.
- That fake husband narrative reportedly stayed intact during the acts.
- Doubt crept in, and the teenager told her mother everything.
- Her mother filed a police complaint the very next day.
- Investigators tracked Sigara down and placed her under arrest.
- Harare Magistrate Jessie Kufa kept her locked up awaiting bail arguments.
