Beitbridge RDC official in court for assault

 A Beitbridge Court has dismissed an application for discharge by a Beitbridge Rural District Council (RDC) official accused of breaking an opponent’s leg after losing R300 in a betting game of pool at Lutumba Business Centre on August 2 this year. 

Magistrate Takudzwa Gwazemba threw out Tsepani Dube’s application for discharge and put him to his defence. 

“The accused has a case to answer,” ruled Gwazemba following an application by Dube’s lawyer Patrick Tererai of Tererai Legal Practice on Tuesday.
