Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A member of President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) has been convicted of assaulting a local businessman.<\/p>\n

The leader of the National Alliance of Patriotic and Democratic Zimbabweans (NAPDR), Devine Mhambi-Hove (44), was fined $40 000 by a magistrate.<\/p>\n

In addition, eight months of the sentence were suspended for the next five years on condition of good behaviour.<\/p>\n

Hove (44) who is also chairperson of POLAD monitoring, implementation and evaluation committee, denied the assault charge but was convicted by Bulawayo magistrate Musaiwona Shotgame after a full trial.<\/p>\n

The assault charge against Hove arose following a misunderstanding that he had with Trust Muteedzi, an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

Muteedzi owns Basement Bar located at Duly\u2019s Building which is situated at the corner of 11th Avenue and Jason Moyo Street where he was also running a car wash business.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said on the day in question and at around 12 PM Muteedzi was sitting inside his bar and behind the counter when Hove entered.<\/p>\n

Without provocation and for no apparent reason, Hove allegedly started assaulting Muteedzi with fists several times on his face.<\/p>\n

The court further heard that Hove left the bar and later returned armed with a plank which he used to strike Muteedzi several times on his hand, neck and head.<\/p>\n

The complainant sustained injuries as a result of the attack and was referred to the hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

The matter was reported to the police leading to Hove\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n
