Larry Manuel from
Thorngrove was attacked by Prince Thembani Tshuma, who was allegedly drunk and
coming from a beerhall. Manuel sustained injuries as he tried to fight back in
self-defence.
Tshuma appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Shepherd Mujanja
facing robbery and assault charges. He was not asked to plead and was remanded
in custody.
Prosecutors allege that Tshuma confronted Manuel and
started hitting him with fists and stones, demanding cash and valuables. Manuel
tried to fight back but he fell to the ground, sustaining injuries on his
forehead, eyes and chin and bruises all over his face.
Tshuma allegedly searched his victim and took the cash and
a mobile phone before fleeing the scene. A witness, Israel Dhlodhlo, who was
also coming from the same bar as Tshuma, said the accused attacked Manuel for
no apparent reason.
Dhlodhlo said when he tried to intervene, he was also
attacked. “The following morning l heard the complainant saying his money and
mobile phone had been stolen,” he said. Daily News
