By Privilege Zviregei
A Gweru tout was made to pay for his actions after being dragged to court for pushing a woman out of a moving vehicle over $2.
The court heard that on March 1 2024 the tout Silas Sanangura (18) had a misunderstanding with a female passenger.
The passenger was coming from Shurugwi and was about to disembark at Cathedral bus stop Gweru when she demanded her $2 change and the tout ignored her.
She insisted on getting her change and the tout became violent, he grabbed her by the collar and pushed her off the moving vehicle. She sustained bruises on her body and filed a police report.
Silas Sanangura (18) was slapped with a US$100 fine by Gweru magistrate Nixon Mangoti.
The magistrate said failure to pay the fine would earn Sanangura 30 days in prison.
