MAI JEREMAYA AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN SEX FOR MONEY, RULES COURT

"For a conviction to be secured there should be proof that there was no consent and the accused realised there was real risk that there was no consent and still proceeded to engage in sexual activity."

“Couldn’t she have asked for help or cried out for help at the earliest opportunity, why did she bath after the rape, these are the doubts that arose in the head of the court during trial.”

INTENSE emotions have been evoked by the outcome of Mai Jeremaya’s rape trial which ended on Friday.

The social media influencer was deemed an active consenting participant in a paid sexual encounter after her evidence was deemed to be marred with inconsistencies by Harare magistrate Letwin Rwodzi.

The feedback on our platforms is a mixture of emotions from her sympathisers while others feel justice was served on the two accused men, Thabo Blessing Dube and Martin Charlie.164C. Transmission of false data message intending to cause harm

Any person who unlawfully and intentionally by means of a computer or information system makes available, broadcasts or distributes data to any other person concerning an identified or identifiable person knowing it to be false with intend to cause psychological or economic harm shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding level 10 or to imprisonment for aperiod not exceeding five years or to both such fine and such imprisonment — Anonymous

Thabo and Martin, just like any citizen, are protected under privileges, one of our young lawyers was actually doing the matter, Shepherd Makonde, congrats to him, justice prevailed. I’m sure he is working on something. This is what can happen now, generally remedies they can pursue involve malicious prosecution or defamation lawsuits. What Chidawa did in filming and sharing of the video is a cyber offence — Anonymous

***********************

This is a win for the justice system in Zimbabwe and we say well done to the magistrate and the defence lawyer but, however, every decision done by the magistrate is subject to review by a High Court judge. There are two things which these two men can pursue in terms of the law, firstly they have the right to press criminal charges against Chidawa and also seek damages from both Mai Jeremaya and Chidawa. The criminal charges involve unlawful detention and cyber bullying while his action to publicly humiliate them qualifies for a claim for damages. However, they have to sustain their claim for damages with substantial evidence to convince the judge — Anonymous

***********************

Two things stand out, malicious prosecution emanating from Mai Jeremaya’s after she decided to press charges after engaging a private investigator who failed to extort the alleged assailants. The second one has to do with the attempted blackmail when Chidawa demanded US$500 from the duo on behalf of Mai Jeremaya. The two can also press assault charges if ever they were administered any bodily harm. The unlawful detention for more than two hours is also another avenue they can pursue criminall

Car Insurance Quotes for Lower Premiums

Car Insurance Quotes: How to Save Money

Car insurance is required in most places, but prices can vary widely. Comparing car insurance quotes can help drivers find lower premiums and better coverage.

Insurance companies calculate rates based on age, location, driving history, vehicle type, credit history, mileage, and coverage limits. Two companies may offer very different prices for the same driver.

How to Compare Quotes

When comparing auto insurance quotes, look beyond the monthly premium. Review deductibles, liability limits, collision coverage, comprehensive coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, and roadside assistance.

A cheaper policy may not always be better if it leaves you underinsured after an accident.

Ways to Lower Your Premium

You may lower your rate by bundling home and auto insurance, increasing your deductible, maintaining a clean driving record, improving credit, or asking about discounts.

Conclusion

The best way to find affordable coverage is to compare car insurance quotes regularly and choose a policy that balances price and protection.

Business Insurance For Small Companies: What Coverage Do You Need?

Running a small business comes with risk. A customer could get injured, property could be damaged, a worker could get hurt, a lawsuit could happen, or a cyberattack could shut down operations. Business insurance helps protect your company from financial loss.

The type of insurance you need depends on your industry, location, employees, property, vehicles, and services.

One common policy is general liability insurance. This can protect your business if someone claims bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury. For example, if a customer slips and falls at your office, general liability may help cover legal costs.

Professional liability insurance, also called errors and omissions insurance, is important for service-based businesses. It may protect you if a client claims your advice, mistake, or failure to deliver caused financial harm.

Workers’ compensation insurance is often required if you have employees. It helps cover medical care and lost wages if an employee gets injured on the job.

Commercial property insurance protects buildings, equipment, inventory, furniture, and business property from covered damage such as fire, theft, or storms.

Cyber liability insurance is becoming more important for small businesses. If your company stores customer data, accepts online payments, or uses email, cyber coverage may help after a data breach, ransomware attack, or fraud incident.

Some businesses also need commercial auto insurance, product liability insurance, business interruption insurance, or a business owner’s policy.

A business owner’s policy, often called a BOP, combines general liability and commercial property coverage into one package. It may be a cost-effective option for small businesses.

Before buying coverage, list your biggest risks. Do you have customers visiting your location? Do you give professional advice? Do you store sensitive data? Do employees drive for work? Do you own expensive equipment?

The right business insurance can protect your cash flow, reputation, and future. Without coverage, one lawsuit or disaster could put your company at risk.
