Harare – Five Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) appeared in court recently for teaming up to execute a heinous crime: gouging a man's eye.
The notorious gang of five – Livingston Zvimba, Tendai Musungambira, Sunday Nyaude, Khululekani Dale and Evans Mashonganyika – were arraigned in court for assaulting Yvonne Magora and her husband Washington Gezana.Reports say, the victim had his eye gouged out after he intervened and tried to restrain five junior police officers, who were allegedly bashing his wife for no reason in the central business district five months ago.
However, they all deny the allegations, telling trial magistrate, Farai Gwitima that they could not be held accountable since the alleged incident occurred late at night.

The trial was postponed to a later dater.
It is alleged that, on March 23 this year at corner Kenneth Kaunda Avenue and Julius Nyerere Way in Harare, one of the accused police officers confronted Magora and Gezana and asked them why they were standing at the road intersection, where they were controlling traffic.
They allegedly then assaulted Magora with open hands. Gezana intervened to rescue his wife. The gang turned their attention to Gezana and assaulted him with batons, open hands and an unknown object, which then gouged his right eye.
Realising that they had injured Gezana, the police officers jumped into their service vehicle and drove off, as well-wishers stopped by and took the couple to Parirenyatwa Hospital for treatment.
The victim's eye was subsequently removed, as it had been severely damaged. - NewsDay
