Mponda, who is accused of exposing minors to pornographic
content, luring them to engage in sexual activity and smuggling adult toys, was
remanded in custody.
The State successfully opposed bail on the basis that she
had the capacity to abscond.
The court came to this conclusion after finding that she
was on the run for a week after she learnt that police sought to arrest her.
She also tampered with evidence by pulling down her pages,
where she was displaying the adult toys.
Further details have also emerged on the events leading to
Mponda’s arrest.
According to a statement recorded from the mother of a
12-year-old girl, she went through her daughter’s WhatsApp messages and saw
Mponda’s account displaying the adult toys, on her profile picture.
She allegedly then called Mponda, asking her if she ever
sold the adult toys to the child.
Mponda, according to the mother, confirmed she had sold
many toys to the 12-year-old, and they were delivered at their house, on
several occasions.
The child’s mother then asked to meet with Mponda and she
confirmed all the dates she made the deliveries.
It is alleged Mponda offered to pay back the money she had
received from the child because she didn’t know she was dealing with a minor.
Apparently, the child was stealing money to buy the toys.
Mponda, according to the mother of the child, confirmed
that she sold toys worth US$1 000 to the minor. H Metro
