Two men from Village 16A, Mushandike Resettlement Area, were convicted and sentenced to 24 months in jail for attempted murder by Masvingo Regional magistrate Bishard Chineka.
Herbert Chishoko,47, and Petros Chishoko,25, assaulted 54-year-old Tendai Muzibwa accusing her of bewitching their ill relative.
Magistrate Chineka converted the sentence to 525 hours of community service at Mukonde Primary School in Mushandike.
Prosecuting, Innocent Mudzingwa told the court that the incident happened on December 29, 2022, at Village 16 A, Mushandike.
Herbert and Petros called a faith healer after their relative fell ill, who told them Muzibwa had bewitched their relative.
The two then approached Muzibwa and accused her of bewitching their relative, and they began assaulting her with mopane logs, telling her to remove the curse.
Muzibwa told them she could not remove the curse as she knew nothing about it.
They assaulted her until she admitted she was responsible for their relative falling ill.
Muzibwa sustained injuries on the back and both legs.
She filed a police report leading to the arrest of Herbert and Petros.
