Chibaya case: Hungwe stuns court

A senior army soldier and known Zanu PF supporter, Colonel Hungwe today stunned scores of people gathered for the trial of Hon. Amos Chibaya at the Gweru Magistrates’ Courts when he disowned a police affidavit which implicated the MP for assaulting him.

Hungwe made a report in May this year that he had been assaulted by Hon. Chibaya, the MP for Mkoba. After the police report, Hon. Chibaya was arrested and was remanded in custody at Hwahwa Prison for a week before being granted bail.

However, during cross examination in court today, Hungwe said he was not assaulted by Hon. Chibaya but some unknown youths at a shopping centre in Mkoba. Hungwe dismissed as false a police affidavit, which recorded that he was assaulted by Hon. Chibaya although it carries his signature.

Ruling in the case is expected to be made next Friday.

Meanwhile, Sicino Dube, the former MDC Midlands South provincial chairperson died yesterday after a short illness. Mr Dube joined the MDC at its inception in 1999 and has held several positions in the Midlands South province since then.

Mourners are gathered at his home at Mataga Growth Point in Mberengwa.
