By Own Correspondent| A Kadoma based Zanu Pf thug who was caught on camera while brutally assaulting a Gokwe man for stealing gold from him is set to perform 175 hours of community service after he was found guilty of assault.

Following Litten Chikoore’s video where he was assaulting Pedzisai Mangisi went viral, ZimEye launched a manhunt for him in a development which resulted in his identification before he handed himself over to the police.

He was sentenced to eight months in jail before magistrate Takudzwa Gwazemba suspended the whole sentence on condition that he performs 175 hours of community service at Kadoma General Hospital.

A further three months were suspended on condition of good behaviour.

Chikoore (35) of Waverly in Kadoma appeared in a 45-minute video recorded in November 2018 brutally assaulting 30-year-old Mangisi with a baton stick. He was accusing Mangisi of stealing gold from him.

Chikoore later handed himself to the police and was incarcerated. He pleaded guilty to assault charges when he initially appeared in court on Friday.
