A 20-YEAR-OLD man in the Zimbabwean south-western rural outpost of Insuza tried to bribe an elderly villager with a bucket of maize after being caught sexually violating a donkey, reports said.

Derec Ncube, 20, appeared before a Tsholotsho magistrate on bestiality charges, according to the vernacular Umthunywa (see website) newspaper.

Prosecuting, Frizt Madida told the court that an elderly villager, Abel Tshuma, had spotted Ncube herding the lone donkey in the Hlanganani area of Insuza.

"He (Ncube) appeared pensive and Tshuma's initial thoughts were that he was trying to steal the donkey, and he followed him for some distance into the thick bushes," Madida told the court.

The court heard that once he reached the secluded place, Ncube dropped his trousers and mounted the donkey from the back and started performing a sex act.

Tshuma told investigators that he nearly fainted with shock at seeing Ncube violating the donkey.

"After gaining enough courage," the court heard, "Tshuma proceeded to greet Ncube who was still busily performing his act on the donkey. Instead of dismounting, he just ignored Tshuma and continued."

The court heard that a day later, Ncube took a bucket of the scarce staple maize to Tshuma's homestead and asked him not to tell anyone about events of the previous day while handing over the bucket of maize. Prosecutors say the maize was a bribe "to shut him (Tshuma) up".

Ncube denies the charge.

Magistrate, Abednico Ndebele, remanded him in custody.

The trial continues.
