Election officer bashed with knobkerrie

A MATABELELAND South province village head struck an election officer after he failed to find his name on the voters roll during the August 23 and 24 harmonised elections.

Bridi Moyo (82), a village head in Madlambudzi under Chief Masendu, struck Lamison Ncube of the same village with a knobkerrie accusing him of denying him his right to vote.

Moyo appeared before Plumtree magistrate Joshua Nembaware on Friday facing an assault charge.
