TWO women accused of targeting revellers attending the Doek and Slay show at Glamis Arena, Harare Showgrounds, and allegedly trying to steal their wigs before biting and assaulting them when they resisted, appeared in court yesterday.
Rosylin Luwizhi (25) and Nancy Murinye (30) appeared before Harare magistrate Ms Ruth Moyo facing four counts of assault.
They were each granted US$150 bail and will return to court on September 3.
Prosecutor Mr Takudzwa Jambabwu alleged that on August 16, 2026, at around 8 pm, Florence Svovera was attending the Doek and Slay show when she was approached by the accused as she made her way to the restrooms.
The court heard that Luwizhi allegedly forcibly removed Svovera’s wig and pushed her to the ground.
When Svovera resisted, Luwizhi allegedly bit her on the face and right middle finger, while Murinye allegedly bit her on the right elbow, forcing her to surrender the wig.
On the second count, the court heard that around the same time, Sharmaine Tumbawi was also at the show when the two accused, together with another accomplice who is still at large, allegedly grabbed her.
Luwizhi allegedly pushed Tumbawi to the ground and bit her on the nose. Murinye and the unidentified accomplice allegedly fled while Luwizhi remained behind, still holding onto the complainant.
Tumbawi sustained a deep cut on her nose.
In the third incident, the court heard that at around 9 pm, Sandra Marufu was attending the same event when the accused allegedly approached and grabbed her.
Luwizhi allegedly tried to remove Marufu’s weave, prompting the complainant to hold onto it. The court heard that Luwizhi then allegedly bit Marufu on the left ear, causing injuries.
On the final count, Chido Milanzi was allegedly involved in an altercation with the accused while trying to restrain them during a misunderstanding involving her sister.
Luwizhi allegedly bit Milanzi on the left cheek and ear, resulting in injuries to her left ear.
The complainants subsequently reported the incidents to the police, leading to the arrest of the accused.
