‎A 29-year-old mobile money agent of Macha Road Compound in Choma has allegedly been attacked, raped and robbed of K6,000 by two masked men.

‎The incident occurred on February 18, 2026, around 20:00 hours, after the woman knocked off from work.

‎Southern Province Police Commanding Officer Moono Namalongo says the victim boarded a taxi to Macha Road Compound and, after alighting, walked along a footpath towards her residence.

‎Mr. Namalongo explains that near a stream along the path, the victim was confronted by two masked men who dragged her into a nearby bush and sexually assaulted her before stealing K6,000 from her handbag and the suspects later fled the scene.

‎He adds that the victim complained of general body pains and discomfort and was issued with a medical report form for examination and treatment.

‎Mr. Namalongo says investigations have been launched, but no arrests have been made, and the stolen money has not yet been recovered.
