Three bad cops turned their police station into a torture chamber. Evans Chikwanha, Denfart Ncube, and Khumbulani Bangu attacked four women who came to bring food to a family member. The officers beat them with sticks and made them drink water until they threw up. They also kissed the women and asked for sex. Magistrate Challenge Mahembe found all three men guilty of assault.
The horrible attack happened at Shangani Business Centre police base on September 27, 2024. The women went there to deliver food to someone locked up. Instead of letting them leave, the three officers decided to hurt them. They made the women lie down on the cold ground. The cops hit their bottoms with batons and forced them to drink ten cups of water each.
One victim told the court she still feels pain during her work as a sex worker. She said she cannot make money to feed her two children because of what happened. Another woman cried as she described how an officer unbuttoned his shirt and tried to kiss her. The officer told her she looked too good to be yelling at police.
The three men said they were innocent during the trial. They claimed the women were drunk and causing trouble outside the station. The court did not believe their story. Each officer must pay a $400 fine or spend six months in jail. They also face eight more months in prison if they break the law again within five years.
