Police damaged Masvingo South MP Tanatsiwa Mukomberi's car windscreen during a hotel parking lot confrontation on May 20. The politician spent time with a married woman at a Harare hotel before trouble started. They left briefly in her white Nissan X-Trail and came back around 9 PM that evening. Wilson Mutambwani waited for them in his Toyota Aqua after receiving information about his wife's location. The 38-year-old husband from Vancouver Road in Braeside had carefully planned his ambush.
Mutambwani attacked the MP first before pulling out a weapon and firing at the Ford Ranger. Police confirmed he used a pellet gun rather than a real firearm to shoot the windscreen. The angry husband grabbed his wife's handbag, containing car keys and phone, after the shooting. Both the husband and wife jumped into the Toyota Aqua and drove away from the scene. Hotel security described the incident as complete chaos during the confrontation.
The couple returned to the hotel the next day around 3 PM using a taxi for transportation. They collected the woman's X-Trail, which remained in the hotel parking lot overnight. The wife told police officers she wanted to divorce Mutambwani, but he refused to accept her decision. Mutambwani works at a panel beating shop in Msasa and faces charges for property damage and assault. Police officers seized the air pistol used during the attack.
