Beauty Standards Turn Violent: Bulawayo Woman Attacked Over Unshaved Privates
A woman in Bulawayo endured a terrifying ordeal when she was subjected to a knife attack, groping, and a brutal thrashing with a rope as punishment for not shaving her private parts. The assault took place after a man emerged from the bushes, leaving the victim traumatized.
Lucky Mukandawire, a 28-year-old resident of Bulawayo’s Matshobana suburb, spotted the woman from a distance and hid in the bushes near the railway line, waiting for her. As the unsuspecting woman, who was on her way to the United College of Education (UCE), passed by, the man emerged from the bushes, brandishing a knife and threatening to stab her if she made any noise.
The Terrifying Choice
According to a source close to the investigation, the woman remained silent as instructed. The assailant then presented her with a horrifying choice: either allow him to insert his fingers into her private parts or face rape. In a desperate attempt to protect herself, the woman chose the former option.
Assault over unshaved private parts
After choosing the former, Mukandawire allegedly kissed her and inserted his fingers into her private parts. He then accused her of not having shaved and thrashed her with a rope before ordering her to run away.
