CHIREDZI – A Triangle teenager who claimed to have been raped by a 29-year-old staffer in the President's Office will do …hours community service after she withdrew the case and confessed that she had lied.
Zvifadzo Nyoni (17) of Mufakose Triangle appeared before Chiredzi Magistrate Tafadzwa Mhlanga last Wednesday facing one count of perjury. The state alleges that Nyoni made a police report to the effect that on June 10, 2017 at CA Gibbs Paddocks, Triangle, Tinanshe Muyambo (26) unlawfully and intentionally had sexual intercourse with her without her consent.
Acting on that report, police proceeded to arrest Muyambo over the allegations but Nyoni later changed her mind and signed an affidavit withdrawing the charges. She said she wanted to fix Muyambo after realising that he was married to someone else.
Magistrate Mhlanga convicted Nyoni for supplying false information to a public officer and sentenced her to 245 hours of community service which she will serve at Chiredzi Provincial Court.
Eddy Mbavarira prosecuted.
