Anderson Chitsungo (34), the husband of suspended Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission boss Sukai Tongogara, who was accused of raping his wife’s 16-year-old niece, was last Friday removed from remand after he applied for removal from remand after the State failed to furnish him with a trial date.
Harare magistrate Ms Rumbidzai Mugwagwa removed Chitsungo from remand and advised the State to proceed by way of summons. According to the State, the victim lived with the couple since childhood following her parents’ separation. Prosecutor Ms Audrey Chogumaira alleged that on October 4, 2015 the complainant was at home in the company of Chitsungo when he ordered her to bring popcorn to his bedroom. When she returned to Chitsungo’s bedroom with salt and a drink, Chitsungo, allegedly locked the door and raped her.
