A scorned boyfriend was dragged to court after he allegedly stole from a Zupco bus driver whom he had caught in the act of bedding his girlfriend.
Zupco bus driver Judah Zvemusha (52) and Dadirai Maphosa (32) girlfriend to Tinashe Sithole (38) appeared in court with Sithole charged with theft.
Prosecutor Chipo Matanga represented the state.
It is the State’s case that on November 27, 2021 around 7pm Zvemusha who resides in Kwekwe approached Maphosa’s residence at house number 1201 Gaza Township in the absence of Sithole.
Upon Sithole’s arrival from work to his girlfriend’s house, he met the two in the act.
It was alleged that Sithole was overpowered by Zvemusha before he fled while naked with only a vest on.
He hid in the nearby bushes until it was safe to walk to the Zupco bus.
Zvemusha later contacted Maphosa for his clothes but was told they had been torn by Sithole and a US$60, Identity Card and the Driver’s License was missing to which Zvemusha instructed Maphosa to report the matter to the police.
Sithole pleaded not guilty to the allegations of theft and denied having stolen the money as well as the documents from Zvemusha’s pockets.
Presiding magistrate Elizabeth Hanzi remanded the matter to January 12 out of custody.
