Tafadzwa Siyabonga (35) was struck with an axe on the head
and with an iron bar on his legs.
Midlands Police Spokesperson Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the
matter to The Mirror. He urged communities to resolve their differences
amicable.
The incident happened at Chiundura Claim, Musasa, Shurugwi
around 6am.
Circumstances are that Siyabonga and his wife went to the
claim and confronted Alphonse Rushava (36), an artisanal miner over leaving
open alluvial pits that pose a threat to communities and their livestock.
The two had a heated argument and Siyabonga struck Rushava
on the right leg with an axe.
Rushava’s accomplices retaliated by striking Siyabonga with
an axe on the head and on the leg with an iron bar.
“Investigations are under way. We urge members of the
public to desist from using violence when resolving misunderstandings as it may
result in unnecessary loss of lives and injuries,” said Mahoko. Masvingo Mirror
