The suspect, Rodney Mandizvidza, was not asked to plead
when he appeared before Harare magistrate Isheanesu Matova and was remanded in
custody to allow him to be examined by two mental health experts.
Allegations are that on February 28, Mandizvidza demanded
porridge from the maid, Murukwahsa Kuchenera, and he was given the porridge
through the window because he is very violent.
He reportedly then poured the porridge on the maid’s face
and became violent, smashing the windows and windowpanes before going away.
His biological mother, Theresa Peta, who is the complainant
in the matter, filed a police report for malicious damage to property.
In court, Mandizvidza made a scene shouting that he was not
mentally unstable. I am not mentally unstable, I have been examined before and
Dr Mhaka established that I am sane. You Worship if you send me to Chikurubi, I
am not going to comply because I’m mentally stable. If my mother doesn’t want
to live with me anymore, she must just say so,” he said.
