In the pending law suit, Majoko and Majoko legal practitioners representing Masunda said:
“Our Client was fired at five times and all bullets hit their intended target. As a result of the gunshot wounds our client suffered pain, shock, suffered disfigurement and loss of amenities. Our client had to be hospitalized at great cost and expense and he still needs further medical attention.”
Sigoge, 61, appeared in court charged with attempted murder and unlawful possession of a firearm in May.
