The trial of Mighty Warriors coach Shadreck Mlauzi has been pushed to another date.
Mlauzi appeared in court on Tuesday, but the trial was postponed to 12 December on the basis that the gaffer’s new lawyer needed more time to prepare for the case.
The Mighty Warriors coach is being accused of indecently assaulting a female member of the technical staff.
The accuser reported the case to the Zimbabwe Republic Police after the team’s return from the COSAFA Women’s Championship in South Africa.
According to a complaint filed with the police, the first incident happened during the pre-tournament camp in Harare when the coach attempted to kiss her without her consent, but she refused.
The following incidents took place in South Africa during the tournament and this prompted the accuser to register her complaint to COSAFA Safeguarding Officer, leading to Mlauzi’s suspension in the following match.
