Former Zimbabwe U18 rugby player Campbell Nyakudya has been released on US$200 bail after being charged with rape and theft in Harare Magistrates Court. The 23-year-old, a former student of Falcon College, appeared before Magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa and did not enter a plea.
The charges stem from an incident on October 25 at Karma Night Club in Harare. Court records state the complainant, a well-known socialite, went to the club with friends but later found them gone. She resumed drinking from her glass while searching for them and soon lost consciousness. She awoke naked, covered only by a cloth, in the parking lot of Chisipite Shopping Centre.
Witnesses said she had been thrown from a moving vehicle. She reported missing her iPhone 14 Pro Max, US$1,200 in cash, her handbag, and her wig. After filing a police report, investigators reviewed CCTV footage from La Parada bar, which allegedly shows Nyakudya slipping a substance into her drink and leading her to his car. He was arrested on October 28.
