A daring Plumtree man was sent to prison for assaulting the chief’s messenger with a wooden log after being served with summons.
Smile Ndlovu was sentenced to six months in prison by Plumtree magistrate Mr Joshua Nembaware.
Prosecutor Selestine Madziwa told the court that on June 15, Chief Mdlambuzi’ s messenger Celeb Moyo(59) went to Ndlovu’s house to deliver summon letters to him.
Ndlovu suspected that the letters were not from the Chief but from the messenger and a misunderstanding arose.
The convict became violent and picked a wooden log which he used to assault the messenger with.
The messenger was rushed to hospital and Ndlovu was arrested.
