Two Bindura siblings were brought to court early this week
for allegedly assaulting and robbing their father’s girlfriend.
Stephen and Tendai Mashongedza pleaded not guilty to the
charges when they appeared before magistrate Moreblessing Makati. The two were
remanded in custody to today.
The State alleges that on Christmas day last year, the
brothers stormed Sinikiwe Motsi’s place of residence at Zinyama village under
Chief Musena in Bindura and demanded to see her.
Motsi did not open the door and the furious brothers broke
windows and a door to gain entry. They accused Motsi of squandering their
father’s money.
They demanded cash and her mobile phone, claiming it had
been bought with proceeds from their sister’s bride price. The duo took turns
to slap the complainant, forcing her to surrender the phone and $148.
Motsi was allegedly force-marched out of her house in the
dead of the night and later released a few kilometres away.
