“I returned the beer and said I wanted my money with the intention of taking the $20 and giving the rest to the chief.

After a while he suddenly smashed a bottle of beer on the left side of my face and I fell on my head,” Mudhi said. “I had to crawl and hide under one of the vehicles while people were fleeing the scene, thinking I would die.”
He went on to say that the people who were there managed to refrain from the traditional leader while taking the victim to the nearest clinic and had to send a relative of Chibi Growth Point to a pharmacy to get the necessary medicines to treat him because there was none in the pharmacy. Clinic.
When contacted for comment, Manyombo confirmed the incident and said he injured Mudhi in self-defense after he attacked him with a beer bottle first but he managed to dodge it.

I went to the counter and took out a $100 bill, and just as I was about to hand it to the cashier, Moodhi snatched it and both of us. The hands were inside the barricade burglary bars. He said the money It’s his, and he won it when we were playing snooker.

Then I retaliated and he was injured. It was a defense thing,” Manyombo said. Completely self-defeating and I had to flee and report the matter to the Machava police because he and his friends in the business center were attacking me.”
