False rape report lands married woman in trouble

Mr Kumarpal Natwar Shingadia has been acquitted of fraud and theft of trust property charges by the Harare Regional Court

After being acquitted last year of participating in the armed robbery of US$2,7 million of ZB Bank cash in 2021, Dennis Madondo (33) from Murehwa is now on trial for money laundering, using proceeds from criminal activities to purchase a luxury vehicle and being in possession of large sums of cash.

A Magunje woman landed herself in trouble for making a false rape report against her lover in an attempt to save her marriage.
She was fined US$200.
Erena Kachara has up to September 30 to pay the fine or go to jail for a month.
Kachara was convicted on her own plea of guilty when she was arraigned before Karoi magistrate Mr Robson Finsin last week.

Sometime last year, Kachara had a love affair with Chenjerai Choto also of Chikwata Village, under Chief Dendera. She was caught red-handed being intimate with Choto in her matrimonial bedroom.

When Choto’s wife — who had waylaid the two — took the matter to Kachara’s husband who was at a beer drink, Kachara suddenly made a U-turn and started accusing Choto of raping her.

In trying to convince her husband that she had been raped, Kachara that same night implored her husband to accompany her to Magunje Police Station where she misrepresented that Choto had raped her.
Mr Benjamin Negato prosecuted.
