MWENEZI – Mafomoti Primary School head, Peresu is reportedly nursing severe injuries sustained from a thorough beating he received after being caught with his married lover deep in the night.

The woman’s husband works in South Africa but he reportedly set a trap and caught the two lovebirds inside Conwell Peresu’s bedroom late at night last week.

District Schools Inspector (DSI), Lackson Zanamwe was not accessible for comment as his mobile was not reachable and Provincial Education Director (PED), Zedius Chitiga said he was yet to receive the report.

Peresu himself was not reachable when TellZim News called, but sources said the school head, whose own wife stays at their rural home, was caught red-handed entertaining his lover from the nearby Chikiti village.

“The woman’s husband had been monitoring his wife’s movements after he got a tip off from friends that his wife was in an adulterous affair with Peresu. He works in South Africa but he frequently comes home, so last week he showed up unannounced,” the source said.

After finding that his wife was nowhere close to home, the suspicious man took three friends to Peresu’s place where they found the two lovers in the bedroom, leading to a severe beating of the illicit lovers.

A report was made at Mwenezi Police Station where a statement was recorded, with Peresu reportedly agreeing to negotiate and pay compensation.

By the time of writing, Peresu was said to have taken sick leave and was reportedly getting treatment at Neshuro District Hospital.local

MWENEZI – In a move that was interpreted by many as a desperate attempt to evade justice, a man who is facing charges of culpable homicide and driving without a licence, got possessed by a spirit soon after walking into the courtroom.

Accompanied by a police officer, Moses Blackwatch of House Number 7159 B Western Triangle, Highfields in Harare, began to behave strangely; refusing to sit on the court bench and opting to sit on the floor while taking his snuff (bute).

While in the dock, the ‘possessed’ Blackwatch frequently interrupted the court interpreter, Vimbai Ngazimbi.

“Taura nechivanhu,chirumbi handichinzwi. Ndoda kutora zororo musana wangu unorwadza. Pazvakaitika zvetsaona ndaivapo handizivi kuti vanhu vanoda kuchiurayirei chizukuru changu ichi. Ndezvekushina chete chete hapana nyanya, kwandabva kunopisa,” interjected Blackwatch.

After noticing the inconsistencies in his statements, magistrate Honest Musiiwa postponed the case. When the case returned to court on Wednesday, a soberly Blackwatch pleaded guilty to driving without a licence but denied the culpable homicide charge.

He was remanded in custody to a later date for continuation of trial.

It is the State’s case that on July 26, 2017, at around 20:20 hours, Blackwatch drove a Kings Bus Company passenger coach towards Sango border post.   

At the 42 km peg, there was a Toyota Corolla parked on the left side of the road, with the now deceased Rumbidzai Mupinga and four others standing behind the car.

The unlicenced driver then lost control of the bus and it veered off the road, hit the corolla and knocked down Mupinga who sustained severe injuries and died on her way to hospital.

The court further heard that when Blackwatch was assked to produce his driver’s license, he misrepresented himself and produced the one belonging to one Mandiyambira Joaz.

After some investigations, the police discovered that Blackwatch did not possess any driver’s licence.
