NOTORIOUS bouncers, Gideon Sanyangore and Blessing Kumunda, who allegedly terrorised revellers at several night spots in Harare, were back in court yesterday for routine remand.

Sanyangore and Kumunda appeared before regional magistrate Stanford Mambanje, who remanded the matter to February 15.

The two, who had been in custody since they were arrested on December 29, were granted $100 000 bail each on Monday by High Court judge, Justice Lucy Mungwari.

They were ordered to report once a week at Glen Norah Police Station and not to interfere with witnesses.

The pair was arrested following a public outcry after a viral video of them assaulting patrons and brandishing a knife and stabbing another bouncer at Pabloz Night Club in Borrowdale in December.

After the Pabloz attack, several music promoters, night club owners and revellers complained about the pair’s violent conduct.

In another video clip, Sanyangore splashes a patron with beer on the face before slapping him hard unprovoked at Mashwede in Glen View.

The two are also facing a number of assault and public violence conduct they caused at a number of entertainment events where they force manned entrances and collected gate charges and pocketed the money, claiming they were untouchable.
