A Bulawayo woman was found not guilty and discharged for allegedly insulting a female police officer through mobile calling.
Thembelihle Mavhoko (24) was denying the charge of insulting Moreblessing Zvimba when she appeared before Adeline Mbeure.
The magistrate found her not guilty and acquitted her.
The court heard that on November 1, 2014 at Ross Camp Zvimba received an anonymous call from Mavhoko at 5pm. Accused said she wanted to discuss something with the cop so as to help her. The police officer asked who she was and she said she was Sibongile based in Bulawayo.
She allegedly said her rural home was Gokwe. When the cop asked what she wanted she diverted the story and told her that it was about business issues and it did not go well with the cop since she had no business to do with anyone.
Accused told her to meet her in town on November 13 2014 pertaining to business issues as she was going for a trip in Malaysia.
The cop waited for a day but she did not show up. After a week accused called her and told her to stop phoning her since she was not aware of the person she was talking to. The accused continued calling her and insulted her. The cop reported and this led to her arrest.
