AN MDC activist based in Mvurwi was yesterday arraigned
before Guruve magistrate Shingirai Mutiro facing an indecent assault charge
after he allegedly fondled the backside of a traditional healer’s wife.
Kelvin Mwanzira (26), however, denied the charge and was
remanded to tomorrow on $150 bail.
Prosecutor Carson Kundiona alleges that on February 29,
Mwanzira was drinking beer at a local bottle store clad in MDC regalia. The
complainant Delyne Tachiona then entered the bottle store with her husband
Timothy Siziva who is a traditional healer.
Mwanzira subsequently followed Tachiona from behind and
allegedly fondled her backside. The complainant advised her husband about the
abuse and Siziva confronted the MDC activist, who denied the allegations.
The complainant told the court that the activist was not
apologetic, but teamed up with his colleagues and hurled insults at the couple.
The husband told the magistrate that he was a traditional
healer and the accused had labelled him as fake.
“Your worship; I am a traditional healer, but this young
man labelled me a fake sangoma before calling my wife a prostitute. It pained
me to the extent that I thought of ending my marriage,” Siziva lamented.
