Detained Harare bouncers Gideon Sanyangore, 36, and Blessing Kumunda, 32, who are in custody awaiting bail hearing over attempted murder charges, have been slapped with fresh charges of assault after more victims came forward to file complaints against them.
Confirming the development, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said: “We can confirm that Gideon Sanyangore and Blessing Kumunda are now facing fresh charges of assault. There are some complainants who filed papers to the effect that they were assaulted by these bouncers,” said Ass Comm Nyathi.
Police said the latest document which contains details of fresh charges is being handled by Highfield Police Station and called on any other individuals who have complaints against the bouncers to come forward and report.
“We are appealing to citizens who might have been assaulted by Sanyangore and Kumunda to come forward so that the law can take its course. In the video which circulated, we saw a man being splashed with something like water or alcohol, we say come and report, this is the best time.”
The two were arrested following a public outcry after they appeared in a short video clip which went viral, assaulting other patrons and threatening to stab Wilson Kaminyu and Munyaradzi Runganga, who are private security guards at Pabloz Night Club in Harare on December 26, last year.
