A landlord from Gweru named Jonah Banda has been given a four-month pr!son sentence, which has been suspended by a magistrate, for @ss@ulting his tenant because she did not pay her rent.
Banda, who is 40 years old and lives in Ascot, went to court to face the charges.
On October 1, 2024, around 12:45 PM, the tenant was sewing in her living room when Banda knocked on the door and entered without waiting for her to answer.

He demanded the overdue rent, but when she said she had no money, Banda got very angry.
He took out a screwdriver from his pocket and st@bbed her twice in the head.
The tenant reported the @tt@ck to the police, and Banda was arr3sted.
In the end, he was given a four-month pr!son sentence, but it was suspended.
This means he won’t go to ja!l unless he commits a similar cr!me in the next five years.
