adminDesmond Gonyora (21) of Munemo Road, Ascot, pleaded guilty to assaulting the security guard, Mr Langton Masunda who was on duty when he appeared before Gweru magistrate Mrs Mildred Matuvi. He was sentenced to six months in prison and three suspended on condition of good behaviour.
The other three months were suspended on condition that he performs 210 hours of community service at Mtapa Police Station. For the State, Mr Justos Makwena told the court that on Saturday at about 11pm, the complainant, Mr Masunda employed by Nokel Security Company was on duty at the outlet in the Gweru Central Business District.
Mr Makwena said a client informed Mr Masunda that there were people in the male toilet who were making some “bedroom” noises.
When the security guard knocked on the door, Gonyora demanded some tissues from Mr Masunda.
Gonyora told the complainant that he wanted to clean himself before he could open the door. Mr Masunda, with the help of members of the public, forced open the door and found Gonyora and his girlfriend, Patience Janasi, in the process of putting on their clothes.
Mr Makwena said when Mr Masunda tried to handcuff Gonyora, he became violent and head-butted him.
