Man threatens to hack off brother’s head

A BEITBRIDGE man who physically abused his brother and allegedly threatened to hack off his head for employing a herd boy suspected to be a wizard appeared before Beitbridge magistrate Trevor Nyatsanza on Tuesday facing physical abuse and domestic violence charges.

Cephas Muleya (55) of Dulibadzimu, who is employed by the Beitbridge Town Council, denied the charges and was remanded out of custody to today for trial.

Prosecutor Munyonga Kuvarega told the court that on February 17 this year, Muleya and his brother, Palalani, were at their homestead when Cephas approached and demanded to see the herd boy, Isaac Mawera.
