A MAN from Greenhill suburb in Bulawayo was allegedly caught red-handed indecently abusing a woman in a shopping queue in the city recently.Mluleki Moyo (27) pleaded not guilty to indecent assault when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Charity Maphosa yesterday.
He was alleged to have unzipped his trousers and then rubbed his private parts on the back of a 21-year-old woman, who was standing in front of him on March 17 this year.
A security guard at the shop, Shelton Masina, told the court he witnessed the incident.
“I heard a woman screaming and thought someone had stolen something,” he said.
“I went and took the accused to a secluded place, where I searched him and I did not find anything. I went back to the lady and told her that the accused had nothing. The lady said he had not stolen, but had exposed his manhood and rubbed it on another woman’s back in the shopping queue.”
He said when he searched Moyo, he realised he had no un_derwear and the women told him that they wanted to make a police report.
“I then thought it might be true that he did what they were saying because he had no un_derwear,” the guard said.
“When I asked him why was he not wearing un_derwear, he said he had left it at home and was wearing two pairs of trousers.”
The complainant said she felt the man was physically abusing her and believed that he possessed supernatural powers to have se_xual intercourse with her without any physical contact.
The magistrate remanded Moyo out of custody on $100 bail to April 15 for judgment.
