A 29-year-old Chirumanzu barman courted trouble with the law when he exposed his swollen manhood to his mother after engaging in an act of sodomy with a friend whom he alleged had abused him.However, the man, Tinovonga Phiri, of Chirumanzu communal lands was exposed when his mother innocently made a report of sodomy against his friend to the police who later investigated the matter.
Police investigations established that Phiri and his friend, Sydney Magumise (35) had spent the night taking turns to sodomise each other and both men's male organs were swollen.
The two "gay lovers", were yesterday hauled before Gweru provincial magistrate, Mr Sithembinkosi Msipa facing charges of sodomy.
They pleaded guilty and were each fined $500 (or six months in prison).
An additional six months imprisonment was suspended for five years on condition of good behaviour.
For the State, Mr Justos Makwena told the court that on Saturday last week, Magumise went to Piki Bar at Chaka business centre for a beer drink.
The court heard that when he got to the bar, he found Phiri who was the barman with no clients and the two started drinking beer together.
Mr Makwena said the following day Magumise returned to the bar and drank until late.
He said Phiri then offered Magumise accommodation and took him to his bedroom after closing the bar.
The court heard that the two took turns to sodomise each other until about 3am.
Mr Makwena said Magumise later left for home at around 4am.
He said Phiri later realised that his manhood was swollen and went to tell his mother what had transpired the previous night.
Phiri's mother went and reported the matter to the police leading Magumise's arrest.Phiri was later arrested by the police after Magumise told them that they took turns to sodomise each other.
