An assistant at Venturas and Samukange Legal Practitioners, Mr Max Mussa, has approached the High Court with an appeal over the acquittal of an Indian businesswoman he accuses of insulting him. The businesswoman, Ms Nighet Parween Savania (63), was acquitted last week on charges of contravening the Postal and Telecommunication Act. It was alleged that Ms Savania insulted Mr Mussa over the phone.
Mr Mussa has filed an appeal at the High Court citing that he was “unhappy with the discharge.” In his ruling, Harare magistrate Mr Tendai Mahwe said Ms Savania had made a counter police report against Mr Mussa of extorting $40 000 from her.
“There is a possibility that he (Mussa) may be out to fix Savania for having reported the matter,” said Mr Mahwe.
“There now exists animosity between the two parties.” Mr Mussa alleged that on June 25 this year at around 2pm, he received a phone call from Ms Savania’s mobile number while at his offices in Tanganyika Building at the intersection of 3rd Street and Kwame Nkrumah Avenue in Harare and was insulted.
