DRAMA unfolded at court yesterday when socialite and club manager, Ronald Ngwenya, arrived to answer to rape allegations.
Ngwenya arrived wearing a trendy grey suit without
handcuffs, as usually is expected, when suspects had gone into hiding.
A rape charge was filed against Ngwenya on December 9.
He went into hiding until he handed himself to the police
on Monday.
Police had been looking for him for four days. He resembled
a businessman, attending a board meeting, than one who had been on the police
wanted list for the entire weekend.
Ngwenya also appeared calm and composed, chatting on his
mobile phone, as he made his way into court.
To suggest that he was a man, who had spent the night at a
police station, appeared to be a wild guess.
The matter took a new twist when cops from Waterfalls
Police Station charged him with aggravated indecent assault.
But, upon vetting by prosecutors at the Regional Court at
Harare Magistrates’ Court, the charge was amended to rape.
According to investigations conducted by H-Metro, the
charge was amended because a medical affidavit showed that there was reasonable
suspicion that the most applicable charge would be rape instead of the
aggravated assault.
The matter was heard after lunch yesterday despite Ngwenya
arriving at court just after 9.30 am. H Metro
