Terrence Mawawa, Zvishavane|A Zvishavane man last week placed his hand on a chair that a woman was about to sit on and proceeded to poke the lady’s private parts.
Evans Sibanda in submissions seen by ZimEye.com has since denied the accusation claiming he accidentally placed his hand on the chair.
He appeared before Magistrate Peter Madiba last week and was remanded in custody.
The court heard that Sibanda caressed the complainant’s buttocks before poking her private parts when she sat on the chair in the hair salon.
The woman arrived at the Salon at Makarios Building on March 2 and she picked one free chair and sat on it without realising that Sibanda had placed his hand on the chair. She only realised it when Sibanda poked her private parts.
The complainant reported the matter to the police leading to Sibanda’s arrest.
Sibanda argued he placed his hand on the chair by mistake, however the court dismissed his claim.
Meanwhile eyewitnesses also maintained Sibanda deliberately touched the woman’s buttocks.
“There was no coincidence in the matter because Sibanda deliberately touched the woman’s private parts,” said an eyewitness.
They continued saying, “it happened in broad daylight in the hair saloon. He even touched the woman’s buttocks and it was a deliberate move. We were all surprised by Sibanda’s action.
“Although he claimed the woman sat on his hand, we witnessed what actually transpired. The woman wanted to have her hair done,” the witness said.
