A MAN from Umguza has been fined US$300 after being found guilty of assaulting a neighbour over a donkey cart dispute.
Clement Ncube (34) appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Challenge Mahembe facing two counts of assault and had four months of his sentence suspended on condition of good behaviour.
The court heard that at around 9pm on November 16 last year near Tshabangu Farm, Airport Plots in Umguza, Ncube and his brother Clever, who is still at large, attacked Brian Mucheki (45) after they had an altercation over an overloaded donkey cart.
Ncube assaulted the complainant with a sjambok and a wooden stick, striking him multiple times all over the body.
Ncube also attacked Mxolisi Dube (42), who had arrived at the scene, accusing him of being a witness.
