Glenview South Member of Parliament Paul Madzore Madzore was on Monday 11 April 2011 served with summons to appear in court today for trial on charges of assaulting Detective Constable Everisto Maponga, a police officer.
Prosecutors allege that Hon. Madzore unlawfully and intentionally assaulted Maponga, a member of the Criminal Investigation Department, who was on patrol in the suburb on 14 December 2006 at Makomva Shopping Centre in Gleniew 2 suburb in Harare.
The prosecutors claim that Madzore punched Maponga with his hands on his chest and he staggered as a result of the knocking.
However, Madzores trial could not commence on Wednesday and was rescheduled to 17 May 2011 by Harare Magistrate Victoria Mashamba after his lawyer Jeremiah Bamu of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) protested at being served with State papers while in court on Wednesday morning.
The State has lined up two witnesses Maponga and Detective Constable Aaron Chipadza to testify against Madzore during his trial.
