Residents of Tshovani in Chiredzi Town were left in shock after a 30-year-old man, Wilson Mushava, was fatally stabbed at a local beer hall on Saturday evening following a heated disagreement.

Eyewitnesses who were present at the scene described the tragic incident, revealing that the altercation started over a beer bottle. One witness recalled, “We went to the beer hall around 12 midnight, and that’s when we saw two people fighting. He [Mushava] tried to stop the fight, and that’s when he was stabbed for intervening.”

Another witness expressed sorrow over the death, saying, “We are deeply hurt by what transpired. We lost a colleague who was just trying to stop people from fighting and hurting each other. That’s how he got stabbed. He was stabbed for being a peacemaker.”

The deceased’s family members are still struggling to come to terms with the loss. His sister, Ms. Loice Mushava, shared her shock when she received the news of his death. “I was called in the morning and they asked me if I was his sister. The caller then told me that my brother had been stabbed to death. His colleagues then took me to the scene where he was killed, and there was blood all over. The police explained to me what transpired. They took me to see his body, and I’m still in shock,” she said, visibly shaken.

As of now, the suspect responsible for the stabbing is still at large, and authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident.
