| The police said yesterday they were looking for him |
In the video, which has gone virual, recorded at his
Pondoro Farm near Lions' Den on Monday, Chikomba is seen thrashing the seven
women on the palms with a piece of hosepipe.
This was after he ordered them to eat hot chillies as
punishment.
The Zanu-PF administrator admitted whipping the women,
telling NewsDay that he was punishing them for stealing his maize.
In the video, Chikomba is heard saying: "I just want
to remove that thought (of stealing) in you, do you hear me?
"I want each of you to eat this pepper before I beat
you up ... bring those hands and the next time I catch you I will beat you on
the buttocks so that your husbands will not derive pleasure in touching
them."
The women are seen taking turns to receive beatings on both
palms by Chikomba.
Chikomba yesterday said the seven women were found stealing
maize from his farm.
"They are not my employees. I am sick and tired of
people stealing from my farm, I was very angry,"he said.
Asked why he did not report them to the police, Chikomba
said the fines charged by the police were too neglible to deter them from
stealing.
"The fines they are asked to pay are too little
compared to the cost of maize stolen. I have taken a lot of people to the
police, besides that, it was a light beating just to scare them away."
