Trainer Forces Himself on Teen Female Boxer
Bulawayo – A boxing coach has been charged with indecently assaulting a teen female boxer on several occasions.
The 43-year-old man cannot be named to protect the identity of the 15-year-old victim. He has been granted US$100 bail and will be back in court on November 7.
The court heard that the first incident occurred when he “counselled” the girl and warned her against having boyfriends, but to have romance sessions with him.

The other incident occurred when the man called the girl to his house at 2pm. When she arrived he allegedly sexually abused the girl.
“This continued to happen several times on different days from May this year,” the prosecutor said.
The matter came to light when the complainant’s sister came across her diary where she had documented the incidences. The sister then informed their brother, who reported the matter to the police, leading to the man’s arrest.

Magistrate Zuyu told Admire Maheya (38) and Makusha Madzore (53) of Section 13, Triangle to apply for bail at the High Court.
They were asked not to plead when they appeared in court on Tuesday.
The duo allegedly stabbed Nyasha Mamutse (26) who is recuperating at Chiredzi District Hospital.
The incident happened on Sunday at Wafawafa Stadium around 5pm after a Young Stars and Eastern United Football Club match.
Circumstances are that postgame violence erupted between the two clubs supporters after the referee ended the match. Madzore and Maheya fronted the violence.
Madzore then allegedly grabbed Mamutse from behind and held him by the waist. Maheya produced an okapi knife and stabbed Mamutse on the left side of the ribs.
Mamutse who sustained a dip cut bled profusely and he was rushed to Chiredzi District Hospital.
A Police report was filed leading to the arrest of Madzore and Maheya. They will be back in court next Friday.
