LONG-SERVING ZBC senior reporter, Judith Makwanya, dragged an alleged errant driver to court after a collision in the Central Business District.
Theophilus Damba pleaded not guilty when he appeared before Harare magistrate Nyasha Vhitorini faced negligent driving.
Prosecuting, Isheanesu Mhiti alleged that on July 23 at the intersection of Herbert Chitepo Avenue and Simon Vengai Muzenda Street, Damba drove his car negligently.
He failed to give way to traffic coming from the right and collided with a Ford Ranger that was being driven by Makwanya.
Damba failed to keep a proper lookout of the road ahead and he also failed to stop or act reasonably when a collision seemed imminent.
Damba denied the charges blaming Makwanya entirely for the accident basing his argument on the fact that Makwanya wears spectacles so she could not see properly causing her to bump into his car.
The matter was remanded to September 14.
