White woman in bizzare case of racism
Posted: Friday, September 20, 2002From Isdore Guvamombe in Masvingo, www.herald.co.zw
IN a bizarre fit of racial bigotry, a white woman in Chiredzi allegedly wrapped her faeces in an attractive paper foil and gave them to a security guard as a delicious food present.
After accepting the "gift" in good faith, the guard, Mr Peter Malava, took his present home and gave it to his wife to open.
But the couple received the shock of their lives when the wife opened the parcel in front of her three kids only to discover the nicely wrapped human faeces.
The accused, Sonnette Rohm (28) of Hartbeesnerk Farm in Chipinge was not asked to plead when she appeared before Chiredzi magistrate Mrs Memory Maphosa on one count of crimen injuria.
She was remanded to September 27 on $2 000 bail.
The State, led by prosecutor Mr Gilbert Mutyamaenza, alleges that on August 31 this year, Rohm, entered Muwonde Lodge in Triangle, Chiredzi where Malava was guarding the entrance.
Late that afternoon, when driving out in her Toyota Land Cruiser, Rohm gave Malava the neatly wrapped "present" and told him to "go and have a nice meal".
After work, Malava went to his home and gave his wife the present only to be shocked to find human excreta.
Malava then reported the matter to the police, who instituted investigations and arrested Rohm in Chipinge on Monday.
The incident comes hardly two years after a Chiredzi white farm manager, Mr Cornerious Johhanes Krueger, was arraigned before the courts for allegedly urinating into the mouth of a junior employee.
He is out of custody on $5 000 bail.
