A 43-year-old Tsholotsho man, Ezekiel Ndlovu, has been convicted on two counts of threatening violence and one count of assault after a series of violent incidents at a local homestead earlier this month.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority, the offences occurred on the 10th 10 and 15 November, at Soluswe line. During a misunderstanding while socializing, Ndlovu reportedly threatened to kill a male victim using an axe. Five days later, he allegedly returned to the same homestead and again issued threats — this time targeting the owner of the property.
In a separate incident at the same gathering, Ndlovu struck another man on the left leg with an iron bar, causing bodily harm.
He was sentenced to 12 months in jail after being convicted at the Tsholotsho Magistrates’ Court.
