Harare, Zimbabwe (News of the South)- A Hatcliff vendor Conrad Mugadza, 30, is facing a serious charge of attempted murder after severely assaulting another vendor during a turf war.
The Hatcliff man is alleged to have assaulted the complainant, whose name could not be verified, because he had brought his wares to Mugadza’s usual selling point.
Currently the complainant is battling for his life at Harare Hospital due to injuries to the head and elbow sustained in the beating he received.
He was remanded in jail to the 1st February.
Meanwhile another Harare vendor has accused the Harare City Council of leaving him broke and desolate after taking his wares leaving him no choice but to steal a cellphone to raise capital.
Elias Mugadza, 33, allegedly stole an LG33 cellphone from a complainant who was in town doing some shopping after the Harare City Council had taken his goods for illegal vending.
Asked by the magistrate why he had resorted to such an action Mugadza gave a comical answer that left the court in stitches.
According to Mugadza the HCC had left him with no choice as he draws his living from selling those wares, which include bananas and tomatoes, in the CBD and he had no other way of getting capital to get more stuff.
He has been remanded in custody to the 1st of February.
