Olinda Chapel back where she belongs.<\/p>\n
Socialite and businesswoman, Olinda Chapel, is back in the UK, where she stays after a brush with the law in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
She was hauled to the Harare Magistrates\u2019 Court, charged with cyberbullying, before the charges were withdrawn before plea.<\/p>\n
Chapel had stood before the courts accused of bullying her partner, Desmond \u201cStunner\u201d Chideme\u2019s ex-wife, Dyonne Tafirenyika, in a Facebook live video.<\/p>\n
She appeared before Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo, where the State informed the court that it would no longer be pursuing the case against her and formally withdrew the charges.<\/p>\n
However, following her freedom, she is back in the UK, where she thanked the authorities.<\/p>\n
\u201c I would like to thank the British Embassy who ensured that I had the right lawyer.<\/p>\n
\u201cLenon, you did your job very well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to thank Interpol Manchester, who were in constant communication with Interpol Zimbabwe. Carrying welfare checks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, CID cyber security. I would like to thank my family, my friends, and all those who kept on checking on us and prayed for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cMwana wamambo muranda kumwe.<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy to be back in the Kingdom where we belong.<\/p>\n
\u201cLong Live the King.\u201d<\/p>\n
The State had alleged that on December 17, Chapel unlawfully and intentionally, by means of a Facebook live broadcast, generated and shared a video in which she shouted at Tafirenyika, calling her a prostitute.<\/p>\n
It was further alleged that Chapel posted the video on a social media platform accessible to the public, with the intention to intimidate, harass, threaten, bully, or cause substantial emotional distress, as well as to degrade, humiliate, or demean Tafirenyika.<\/p>\n
