A Silobela man was fatally assaulted by log by a drinking man as a beer drink turned nasty.

Thembelani Tshuma, 29, of Village Khatshana Chief Malis in Silobela died from injuries sustained after being struck with a log by Nkosetsha Mkhize, 48, of Matinha Village, Chief Sogwala in Lower Gweru.

The motive of the brutal attack is not yet clear, according to police.

Midlands provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, said Mkhize was arrested and is assisting police with investigations.

“The incident occurred on 4 March, 2023at around 11pm. The two spent the day at the Ntabamhlope Shopping Centre, drinking beer together. On their way home, a misunderstanding arose between the two and Mkhize pulled a log from a nearby kraal and assaulted the now-deceased several times all over the body,” said Inspector Mahoko.

Tshuma sustained head injuries and was rushed to Silobela Hospital where he died.
