Zimbabwean Man Arrested for Cyberbullying Former Landlord
Martin Mtandi, a Zimbabwean man, has been arrested for cyberbullying after launching a social media campaign against his former landlord, McDonald Togara, over a deposit dispute.
The disagreement began when Mtandi informed Togara of his plans to vacate an apartment in Sentosa Gardens, Harare, citing the need for more space. Togara refused to refund the security deposit, claiming the short notice left him unable to find a replacement tenant and that the deposit would cover rental losses and damages.
Frustrated, Mtandi took to Facebook, accusing Togara of withholding deposits and inflating repair costs. The allegations were found to be false, prompting Togara to report him to authorities.
Despite deleting the posts and apologizing, Mtandi was arrested and charged with cyberbullying and defamation, highlighting the legal risks of spreading false information online.
