There was drama in Bindura where a tenant allegedly bashed his landlord after he demanded his rentals.
The matter came to light at Bindura magistrates court yesterday where Farai Mupota appeared before a Bindura magistrate facing assault charges.
During cross examination the accused told the court that his landlord, Cleopas Kuhlengisa, promised to bewitch him.
"My landlord promised to bewitch me over non-payment of rentals," Mupota said.
In his response, the complainant said his tenant is a liar.
"Your worship, my former tenant, is a problem. He even lied about his own name,” Kuhlengisa said.
“He had turned my house into a base for illegal deals.
“On top of beating me, he used to steal from me and I also reported that to the police.”
The state led by Carson Kundiona alleged on June 8, the landlord demanded his rent for the previous month from the accused and ordered him to leave his house.
