A very very sex starved 50-year-old Dete woman has been arrested for dishing out vuka vuka, condoms and 'free sex' forcefully to a 17-year-old herdboy.

Hwange regional magistrate Dambudzo Malunga was on Monday told how Patricia Sibanda who deeply misses good sex, sneaked into the boy's bedroom hut severally to solicit for sex after administering the concoction on him.

The boy is aged 17 and was down with a bout of flue when his employer sexually feasted on him.

Sibanda, of Tshabasitshana village in Dete under Chief Nelukoba, was not asked to plead to indecent assault.

She was remanded out of custody to October 19 on $100 bail after her lawyer Tonderai Mukuku successfully applied for the relief.

The lawyer requested time for him to prepare defence before trial could kick off.

Hwange area prosecutor Bheki Tshabalala said the 'sex starved' woman preyed on the boy on numerous occasions but he would not be swayed until on August 18 when, drugged by the concoction, she allegedly invited him into her hut and forcibly had sex with him.

"On August 12 Sibanda gave the juvenile boy some concoction commonly known as vuka vuka in IsiNdebele claiming that it was a cure for flue," said prosecutor Tshabalala.

The court heard that the unsuspecting boy who was down with the bout of flue and coughing, took the 'medicine'.

"From that day Sibanda continued to give the boy the concoction and on several occasions she would enter his bedroom hut demanding sex," the court was told.

The boy refused each time she demanded sex, it is alleged.

"On August 18 at 11AM she called him into her bedroom hut and started fondling him. She then gave him a condom to wear and forcibly had sexual intercourse with him once."

The court heard that the boy narrated his ordeal to a neighbour Pauline Dube and subsequently reported the matter to the police on September 1.
