A police officer crashed his Ford Ranger into a donkey cart during the night. Manase Madzimu drove through Upper Rangemore when Wilson Nyirenda's cart struck his vehicle from behind. Metal parts from the cart damaged the grey Ford Ranger at 1:23 AM on June 9. Both men felt angry and confused after the collision happened. The police officer decided to follow the cart for answers.
Madzimu chased the donkey cart to Mbuwa plot where violence broke out. Wilson screamed for help when the angry driver approached him. Two young men rushed outside to defend Wilson from Madzimu. Mthokozisi Nyirenda and Mpumelelo Maphosa joined their father against the officer. The three men beat Madzimu with their fists and a wooden log.
The police officer suffered serious injuries and needed medical treatment. He paid $60 for doctors to treat his cuts and bruises. The three attackers appeared before Magistrate Archie Wochiwunga at Western Commonage court. All defendants admitted guilt but said they were protecting their family member. The court will sentence the trio on June 25 for assault charges.
