A 29-YEAR-OLD Plumtree man has been ordered to perform 105 hours of community service for assaulting a sex worker who allegedly stole his keys after rendering her services.
Nelson Chipangure of Hebron suburb paid Ms Zanele Ndlovu (36) 100 Pula for her services, but later forcibly took back the money after accusing her of stealing keys to his house. He also punched her several times.
Chipangure was convicted on his own plea of guilty to assault by Plumtree magistrate, Mr Joshua Mawere. He was sentenced to three months imprisonment which was wholly suspended on condition that he performs 105 hours of community service at Plumtree Magistrate's Court.
Prosecuting, Mr Zorodzai Pengapenga said Chipangure assaulted Ms Ndlovu on August 16.
"On 16 August Chipangure met Ms Ndlovu at Malikongwe Casino in Plumtree and offered to pay her P100 in exchange for sex. They went to Chipangure's house where he paid Ms Ndlovu the money and they had sexual intercourse.
"Upon ending the session, Chipangure alleged that Ms Ndlovu had stolen his house keys. He took back the money which he had given her. He further punched Ms Ndlovu several times all over the body," he said.
Mr Pengapenga said the matter was reported to the police leading to Chipangure's arrest.
In another incident, a 15-year-old Plumtree teenager has been cautioned for stealing a DVD player and P180 from a neighbour's house. The juvenile who cannot be named for ethical reasons pleaded guilty to unlawful entry when he appeared before Plumtree magistrate, Mr Joshua Mawere.
He was however cautioned and discharged after the magistrate took into consideration that some of the stolen goods were recovered.
Prosecuting, Mr Zorodzai Pengapenga said the juvenile unlawfully entered Ms Gracious Chagwiza's house in Madubes suburb in Plumtree while she was away.
"On 13 July around 8AM Ms Chagwiza left her DVD player in her sitting room and P180 on a coffee table in her bedroom as she went to a tuckshop. She closed all the windows and locked the doors.
"During her absence the juvenile went to Ms Chagwiza's house and took her keys from an abandoned car within the yard. The teenager gained entry into the house and took the DVD player and the money and went away unnoticed," said Mr Pengapenga.
He said when Ms Chagwiza returned home she discovered that someone had stolen her money and DVD player. She reported the matter to the police and investigations led to the arrest of the juvenile.
The DVD player and some P10 were recovered.
