The complainant Mr Intelligence Sibanda of Shakiwa Line in Sipepa confronted Mayenziwe Sibanda who is on the run, questioning him why he once slapped him and the two started fighting.

Mayenziwe of the same area allegedly picked up a golf stick and hit Mr Sibanda repeatedly all over the body resulting in the complainant fainting.

She urged members of the public not to resort to violence under any circumstances.

“I can confirm that we received a case or attempted murder which occurred in Sipepa where a man was assaulted with a golf stick all over the body and fell unconscious during a fight. We are appealing to members of the public to solve their differences amicably and desist from using violence,” she said.
