A Karoi man has taken three of his workmates to court after they allegedly took a picture of him dozing while seated on a toilet seat and posted the picture on the social networking site, Facebook.
Three of Greenfields Munyulwa's co-workers at the Karoi Town Council have since been arraigned before the courts after they allegedly posted the photograph on a page code-named Domborenhamo Dotcomz Karoi.
Tinashe Mugavazi (28), Kudakwashe Chumachata (25) and Michael Madondo (32), all of Chikangwe Township, Karoi, were each granted US$30 bail when they appeared before Karoi resident magistrate Mr Robson Finsin last week.
Mr Webster Dimingo prosecuted and the trio will be back in court on April 22.
As part of their bail conditions the three were ordered to reside at their given addresses and not to interfere with witnesses until their case is finalised.
The trio's charges arose on March 17 this year when musician Progress Chipfumo had a show at the council-owned Chikangwe Tavern.
Allegations are that Munyulwa (42), a council security officer who was part of the revellers, visited the staff toilets but fell asleep while relieving himself.
Upon discovering that Munyulwa was fast asleep on the toilet seat, it is alleged that Mugavazi, who is a cashier at the bar, took a photograph of his half-dressed colleague using a mobile phone belonging to Chumachata.
Chumachata, it is further alleged, later sent the photograph to Mugavazi and Madombo's mobile phones using the Bluetooth function after which it was posted on Facebook. Munyulwa only discovered the development two days later after people who had seen the picture on the Internet jeered him each time he walked the streets.
Munyulwa later reported the matter to the police.
