Saturday, November 16, 2024 - A man from Plumtree, Zimbabwe, has been arrested for assaulting a woman after she rejected his romantic advances for the third time. The accused, Mhlalisi Ngwenya, allegedly resorted to violence after repeated attempts to court the woman, identified as Future Ndebele, were firmly declined.
The ordeal began in May 2023 when Ngwenya first approached
Ndebele with a romantic proposal, which she rejected. Despite her clear
disinterest, Ngwenya persisted, making a second proposal months later, which
was also refused. On October 7, 2023, after his third proposal was rejected,
Ngwenya allegedly reacted in anger by throwing stones at Ndebele, injuring her
leg.
In addition to the assault charges, Ngwenya is also accused
of stealing a speaker from a local bar, further complicating his legal
troubles.
Ngwenya was apprehended and appeared before Magistrate
Joshua Nembaware, where he was granted bail of $30 USD. His trial is set for
November 28, 2023.
The incident has drawn concern from the Plumtree community,
with residents expressing dismay over the escalation of romantic rejection into
violence.
