Zimbabwe: 8 Months for 'Mini-Skirt Touts'

27 March 2015

A HARARE magistrate yesterday sentenced the two touts who indecently assaulted a woman at Simon Vengai Muzenda (formerly Fourth Street) bus rank in the city last year to an effective eight months in prison each. Magistrate Ms Rekina Dzikiti had sentenced Marvellous Kandemiri (32) and Blessing Chinodakufa (31) to 12 months in prison before suspending four months on condition of good behaviour.

Ms Dzikiti said a non-custodial sentence was unjustified, saying there was need to stop people from acting like animals.
