Sunningdale Legislator In Court Facing Attempted Murder Charges
Maureen Kademaunga, a Sunningdale legislator, had her trial commence in Harare yesterday, facing attempted murder charges.

Kademaunga appeared alongside Clayd Mashozhera, a Councilor from Harare City Council’s Ward 10, as well as Noel Munhuwei and Daudi Jessub.

The four collectively pleaded not guilty to charges, which included attempted murder and malicious damage to property.

Details of the Incident

According to court records, the incident took place on August 22 2023. The complainants, identified as Cyril Nyauchi, Artwell Marwa, and Spencer Mudarikwa, were engaged in distributing food to ZANU PF election agents at various polling stations within Sunningdale. They were travelling in a Toyota Spacio.

Upon reaching the Metro Peach Main Entrance, situated at the intersection of Seke Road and Boshoff Road in Sunningdale 1, Harare, the quartet and ten other individuals obstructed their passage. The group arrived in a convoy consisting of a white Toyota Noah, a pearl Toyota Mark X, a white commuter omnibus, a Honda Fit, and two additional vehicles, the registration numbers of which were not documented.

Nyauchi suffered severe injuries after being assaulted by the mob, employing various weapons, including an axe, golf sticks, whips, and button sticks, rendering him unconscious. Marwa and Mudarikwa also sustained significant injuries during the altercation.

Subsequently, the assailants purportedly set the Toyota Spacio ablaze before making their escape. The trio received aid from Good Samaritans, who transported them to the hospital for medical attention.
