Zimbabwean dancehall artist, Ras Pompy, has found himself at the center of a dramatic attempted m_rder case. The controversy revolves around his alleged romantic involvement with his friend’s mother, which sparked a heated confrontation.
Ras Pompy’s friend, Wesley Eroyi Shoniwa, is accused of st@bbing his uncle during an altercation over the supposed affair.
According to H-Metro, the uncle had confronted Shoniwa about his behavior towards his mother, leading to the vi0lent clash. Shoniwa appeared in court facing attempted m_rder charges and was remanded in custody pending bail consideration.
When asked to respond to the allegations, Shoniwa claimed he didn’t understand the charges, insisting that events had unfolded differently.
The magistrate invited him to share his side of the story, setting the stage for a dramatic unfolding of events.
“We are here because my mother is sleeping with Ras Pompy, how can she sleep with someone of my age when she can easily find someone her age to sleep with.
“Everyone in the (neighbour)hood has been laughing at me over this issue because her boyfriend is my friend and is way younger than my mother so when my uncle asked me about it taking her side, I was infuriated and st@bbed him,” he said.
On Monday, Wesley Eroyi Shoniwa allegedly att@cked his uncle, his mother’s brother, with a knife, st@bbing him in the shoulder.
The altercation occurred when the uncle attempted to reprimand Shoniwa for his aggressive behavior towards his mother, including thre@ts and verbal ab_se. The case was presented by prosecutor Anesu Chirenje.
