Police, Soldier stabbed by civilian.

A 22-year – old Lupane man will rue the day he stabbed to death a Zimbabwe National Army soldier
with a knife over an undisclosed argument on Christmas day and is now languishing in jail awaiting
trial for murder.
Police in a statement confirmed arresting Ronald Ncube, and has since been charged with the
murder of Simesihle Mkandla at St Luke’s Business Centre.
“The ZRP has arrested Ronald Ncube (22) for a murder case in which he fatally stabbed a ZNA officer,
Mkandla (24), with a knife at St Luke’s Business Centre on Christmas day.”
Meanwhile, a 40-year-old Jambezi man has been dragged before Victoria Fall magistrates’ courts
after he lost his temper and brutally stoned a patrolling police officer on the head and tried to
strangle when he fell to the ground.
The policeman had asked the man why the shop he was seated in was still open after trading hours.
The man, Polite Tshuma of Chikamba Village 2, under Chief Shana, has since appeared before
resident’s magistrate Godswill Mavenge charged with assault.
The state alleged that on December 24, at around 11PM, Kalimanga Mlalazi (32) in company of
Shelton Mudhihwa, both employed as police officers were patrolling Chikamba and Lumbora areas.
As the two arrived at Chikamba Business Center, they found a Sikuka Shop operating from its
backdoor.
“As Mlalazi moved closer to inquire what was happening, he found the accused person seated
behind the shop and as he was inquiring about the odd trading hours, the accused became angry
and picked a stone and hit him once on the head and Mlalazi lost consciousness and fell on the
ground.
“The accused choked the complainant with his right hand only to be rescued by his colleagues,” read
the State outline.
