Tinashe Maswa, a gardener at Shaka Hills Farm in Igava, Marondera, pleaded guilty to the charges.

He stunned the court gallery when he said that he wanted to “have a feel” of the domestic animal.

Maswa will, however, serve a four-month jail term after two months were set aside on condition of good behaviour.

According to court papers, on April 23, this year, at around 1000hrs, the accused person proceeded to the pig sty where he selected a sow and forced himself on it.

However, during the act, the accused was seen by one Edward Vheremu, responsible for feeding the pigs. Vheremu saw Maswa with his trousers unzipped and overalls unbuttoned to waist level. The accused person took some minutes doing the act while Vheremu kept on watching.

After realising that he was being watched, Maswa stopped. He hid in a corner, put on his clothes, jumped over the sty and hid in the nearby bush.

The matter was reported to the police leading to his arrest.
