A Plumtree man failed to control his temper and assaulted his brother’s wife.
The matter came to light at the Plumtree magistrates courts on Thursday where the 24-year-old Mthuli Ncube appeared before magistrate Joshua Nembaware.
Nembaware sentenced Ncube to one year in jail and suspended six months on condition of good behaviour.
Ncube was lucky to escape jail after the remaining six months were suspended on condition he performs 210 hours of community service at the President’s Office with effect from September 13.
Prosecutors allege that on July 28, Ncube went to his brother’s house and found his wife home.
Ncube quizzed the wife on why she was tormenting his brother, and a misunderstanding arose.
Ncube assaulted her with open hands all over.
