Archford Zhanje also
attempted to run over his rival during an incident which took place in the
Central Business District on Wednesday.
The rival suitor, who was not named by the police, was
saved by members of the public.
Bulawayo police spokesperson Abednico Ncube confirmed the
incident.
“Police in Bulawayo have arrested Zhanje for a case of
pointing a firearm which occurred along Jason Moyo Street between Leopold
Takawira Avenue and 8th Avenue,” Ncube said.
“On December 15 at 8pm, Zhanje called the complainant (name
not supplied) to his car and asked
him why he was communicating with
his girlfriend.
“The complainant objected to the accusations.
“Zhanje raised his
voice and tried to hit the complainant with open hands but the public
intervened to stop the altercation.”
He said Zhanje went to his car and took a pistol and
threatened to shoot the rival, but was restrained by members of the public.
He later attempted to run over the man before speeding off.
Zhanje was arrested at a hotel in Bulawayo and was found
with a pellet gun.
“Investigations are
in progress, police are urging members of the public to solve their problems
amicably and never to make any threats worse still using anything purporting to
be a firearm,’’ Ncube added. Newsday
