He was remanded in custody to July 25 for trial.
The court heard that on November 27 last year, the complainant, a 27-year-old woman, boarded Munyanyi’s commuter omnibus on her way to Njube.
Along the way, Munyanyi allegedly diverted the route, saying he wanted to pick-up his friends along Victoria Falls Road.
After picking up his alleged accomplice, who is still at large, Munyanyi drove to a bushy area, where he allegedly robbed and attempted to rape the complainant.
