A suspected drug addict, Rivaldo Whiskey, appeared in court on Tuesday before magistrate Stanford Mambanje, facing serious allegations of attempting to r*pe his mother.
Whiskey was remanded in custody until September 20 after the prosecution opposed bail. During the hearing, prosecutor Mercy Masamvi detailed the events of September 4, when an allegedly intoxicated Whiskey entered his mother’s bedroom and demanded s*x, asserting that she needed it while his father was in South Africa.

According to court testimony, Whiskey’s attempt to assault his mother was thwarted when she managed to overpower him. In a desperate bid to escape, she fled the room with Whiskey pursuing her. She ultimately sought refuge at a neighbor’s house, where the incident was subsequently reported to the police.
The case has raised significant concern within the community, and further proceedings are expected in the coming days.
