A CITIZENS Coalition for Change (CCC) activist from Magunje is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly stabbing a fellow bar patron, who attacked him for wearing the opposition party\u2019s T-shirt.<\/p>\n

Knowledge Kumbweya (42) of Runesu village, Chief Dandawa in Magunje appeared before Karoi Magistrate Moreblessing Makati facing one count of attempting to kill Thando Mugoni, who was part of a mob which assaulted him in politically motivated violence.<\/p>\n

Accused person was remanded in custody to May 19, 2023 and was advised to apply for bail at the High Court.<\/p>\n

District public prosecutor, Reginald Chavora told court that on May 4 at around 1700hours at Nyariya business centre, Magunje, complainant was having a beer with other patrons when accused person arrived wearing a yellow T-shirt inscribed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) emblazoned with its leader, Nelson Chamisa\u2019s portrait.<\/p>\n

This did not go down well with Mugoni who confronted Kumbweya and challenged him over donning opposition party regalia.<\/p>\n

In turn, accused person defended himself arguing it was his right to put on whatever clothing of a political party of his choice.<\/p>\n

Court further heard a fist fight broke out between the two and other patrons joined in assaulting Kumbweya using fists, booted feet and empty beer bottles.<\/p>\n

As a result of the attack, Kumbweya sustained lacerations on the right ear.<\/p>\n

It was averred in the midst of the fracas, Kumbweya drew out an okapi knife and stabbed complainant once on the left side of the chest resulting in Mugoni sustaining a deep cut.<\/p>\n

Accused was later disarmed and taken to Chidamoyo Police Base while Mugoni was rushed to Chidamoyo Mission Hospital before being transferred to Karoi District Hospital for further treatment.<\/p>\n

Mugoni was later transferred to Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital, where he is admitted and his condition reportedly critical.<\/p>\n
