By Own Correspondent- A man has been hauled to court for axing a colleague after he failed to return a borrowed radio.

Mthokozisi Mhlanga (27) of Zulu 8 Mine in Fort Rixon allegedly assaulted Mthokozisi Mwembe (19) after he failed to return a radio that he had borrowed from him.

Mhlanga pleaded guilty to assault before Bulawayo magistrate Mr Franklin Mkhwananzi.

“Ngiyavuma icala kodwa ihloka langiphunyuka layatshaya enyaweni lwakhe (I plead guilty but the axe slipped from my hand and hit his leg), I never intended to hurt him,” said Mhlanga.-StateMedia
