DYNAMOS Football Club legend Itai Stanley Chirambadare yesterday appeared in court facing sodomy charges after he allegedly sexually assaulted a student at his football academy in Harare.
Chirambadare, who is represented by Knowledge Maeresera, was remanded in custody to May 13 pending trial.
The Dynamos legend was advised by magistrate Dennis Mangosi to apply for bail at the High Court.
Allegations are that sometime in March this year, the complainant, who is 13 years old, went to Chirambadare’s house together with his friend to sweep as he would always do and they would be given sweets.
It is alleged that on the day in question, the complainant went to Chirambadare’s house alone to sweep.
The accused person allegedly dragged the lad into his bedroom and sexually assaulted him.
Chirambadare allegedly threatened to kill the complainant if he revealed the abuse to anyone.
