A BUHERA man was left counting losses after his vehicle was burnt to ashes by his former employee following a salary dispute.
The matter came to light at Chipinge magistrates courts where Raymond Chirombo(18) appeared before magistrate Nixon Mangoti.
Mangoti slapped Chirombo with a three-year-jail term.
One year was suspended on condition of good behaviour. The court heard that on September 3 this year, Chirombo approached his former employer Trymore Dhliwayo demanding his outstanding salaries.
Chirombo was employed by the complainant as a tyre fixer at Gamba Industry in Birchenough Bridge.
Dhliwayo told the convict that he did not have money.
Chirombo went away but subsequently returned at Dhliwayo's homestead and set his Mazda vehicle on fire.
The car was burnt beyond recognition.
