Memory Zhou (28) of Kandodo in the small mining town is facing criminal insult charges after allegedly insulting Blessing saying he was his father’s goblin because he did not own a car while children of other prominent businesspeople drove posh cars.
This was after Blessing’s wife Egness Mabuzve had been involved in a fist fight with the vendor at a local restaurant over an undisclosed dispute.
Zhou allegedly insulted Blessing saying he was a child born out of prostitution and that was why he was an outcast in a rich family.
According to the charge sheet, Zhou on May 2 fought with Blessing’s wife Mabuzve at a local restaurant over an undisclosed dispute.
Blessing restrained the two and Zhou allegedly grabbed him by his testicles before smashing his Nokia Lumia phone worth $250 on the ground. Blessing managed to set himself free and a furious Zhou then called him a goblin.
Blessing made a police report, leading to Zhou’s arrest.
He was remanded out of custody on free bail to today for sentencing.
