It’s a case straight out of a movie!
A Harare woman, Annalisa Muguwe, is spending nights in police cells after her alleged “obsession” with a local businessman spiralled into a chilling cyberstalking and harassment drama.
Muguwe was arrested on Thursday May 28, and is now facing serious charges under the Cyber and Data Protection Act, as well as breaching a protection order issued on February 14, 2025.
“This is a clear case of someone who refused to let go,” said a source close to investigations. “The complainant tried to move on, even sought protection from the courts, but the accused allegedly kept coming back again and again.”
According to sources, the drama has been brewing for THREE YEARS after the businessman reportedly dumped Muguwe and cut off contact.
Muguwe allegedly turned his life into a nightmare!
“She started stalking him through social media, through friends, through anyone linked to him,” another source revealed. “It became a full-blown obsession.”

Despite a court order barring her from any contact, Muguwe allegedly continued to push her way into the businessman’s life, ignoring the law and escalating her actions.
Investigators claim things took a darker turn when the businessman left the country.
“That’s when the cyber attacks allegedly intensified,” said a police insider. “There are claims she started spreading damaging information and trying to tarnish his image just to get his attention.”
Authorities say the alleged actions caused serious distress and reputational harm, forming a key part of the State’s case.
The businessman, who has kept a low profile, is said to have gone the legal route after failing to shake off the persistent contact.
“He tried everything, distancing himself, ignoring her, but it didn’t stop,” said another source. “That’s why he got a protection order.”
Muguwe is expected to appear in court soon.
Meanwhile, police warned that cyberstalking and online harassment are crimes that can land offenders behind bars.
