A 19-YEAR-OLD woman from Dulivhadzimo, Beitbridge, has been
taken to court for attempting to trade her daughter for three cars to a
Zimbabwean based in South Africa in a suspected ritual case meant to boost his
transport business.
Agness Sheron Teverashe Pedzisai was not asked to plead to
a charge of conspiracy to murder, when she appeared before Beitbridge regional
magistrate Crispen Mberewere on Wednesday.
The magistrate remanded her in custody to June 5 for trial.
Prosecutor Munyonga Kuvarega told the court that sometime
in April, Pedzisai obtained contacts of Brian Musekiwa Mungofa, who is based in
South Africa and started talking to him through text messages.
Pedzisai allegedly told Mungofa that she was offering her
child, who was staying in Chivi, so that he kills her and obtain body parts for
the enhancement of his transport business.
She demanded a Nissan Caravan, Honda Fit and Altezza in
exchange for the child.
Mungofa reported the matter to one Constable Mbembwe of the
Criminal Investigation Department in Beitbridge.
Mbembwe, in the company of Assistant Inspector Muradya,
went to see Pedzisai, who confirmed the deal. She was immediately arrested and
investigations established that she had a daughter who was staying with her
grandmother at Mbavare village in Chivi, who she reportedly wanted to trade for
the cars. Newsday
