Kufahakutizwi allegedly damaged a vehicle in Mabvuku and
assaulted a Zanu PF member at a funeral.
Presiding magistrate Mrs Ethel Chichera postponed the
matter to March 6.
Kufahakutizwi’s lawyer Mr Garikayi Mhishi put the State on
notice that failure to summon witnesses on the next date, the case should be
removed from remand.
It is the State’s case that on November 21, Mr Patrick
Chitemba authorised Pastors in Action 4ED national administration officer Mr
Douglas Matadi to use his Toyota Hiace to campaign for December by-elections
for the Zanu PF National Assembly candidate for Mabvuku-Tafara constituency,
Cde Pedzai Sakupwanya.
Mabvuku-Tafara constituency eventually didn’t hold
by-elections after the High Court barred Kufahakutizwi.
But on November 21 at around 1 pm, while Mr Chitemba and
his colleagues were parked at Kamunhu Shopping Centre in Mabvuku, Kufahakutizwi
and his accomplices, who are still at large, approached him while driving a
yellow and black Toyota Baby Quantum.
They then blocked Mr Chitemba’s vehicle and four unknown
men disembarked from Kufahakutizwi’s vehicle, forced open Mr Chitemba’s vehicle
doors and demanded to see Morgan Mupfurutsa.
Kufahakutizwi, who was allegedly seated at the back of the
Toyota Hiace, instructed his accomplices to damage Mr Chitemba’s vehicle.
It is alleged Kufahakutizwi said, “Aya mapastors for ED
ngavazive zvevhangeri chete, pwanyai mota iyoyo.”
Kufahakutizwi’s accomplices then hit the vehicle’s rear
passenger window using wooden sticks, causing it to collapse, and they drove
away.
The total value of damage inflicted on the vehicle is
US$370. Herald
