Terrence Mawawa, Chiredzi|A fierce brawl here nearly became fatal when a local woman lost her left ear over a $2 debt. The woman, Muchapareva Mbaimbai, who is a vendor, lost her left ear last week after she was attacked by another vendor over a $ 2 debt she owed her since December last year.
Narrating the ordeal, Mbaimbai said she was nearly killed by the woman identfied as Mai B.
“She approached me at Shingai Market as I was making some orders. She asked me about the money and I told her to come over to my place. However she became angry, grabbed my throat and pinned me to the ground before a passer-by restrained her.”
She said the woman returned after a few minutes with more vengeance. “After a few minutes, she returned and violently grabbed my hands and bit off a part of my ear and spat it on the ground. Another man grabbed her to end the commotion. I bled profusely and I nearly collapsed due to loss of blood. I do not know why she became violent to that extent. I am still devastated by what happened,” she said.
Mbaimbai was later taken to Chiredzi Hospital for medical attention
Masvingo police spokesperson Inspector Charity Mazula said she was not aware of the incident.
