A shebeen client required surgery to remove a 8,5cm knife blade that
was lodged on his body by a shebeen queen from Gold Mine in Collen Bawn .
Bongani Matekesa (33) stabbed Portion Ngwende over a $17 beer debt.
On November 2 at about 4PM, Ngwende was at Matekesa's tuck-shop.
Ngwende then confronted her demanding to know why she had phoned his wife telling her that he owed $170 for beer instead of $17.
However, she insisted that he owed her $170 and a misunderstanding ensued.
Matekesa pushed Ngwende from her tuck-shop and drew a kitchen knife from her hand bag.
She followed a staggering Ngwende and tripped him to the ground.
She sat on his back and stabbed him twice on the left side of the waist.
The knife broke into two pieces and the blade was stuck in Ngwende's body.
Ngwende was rushed to Gwanda provincial hospital and later transferred to the United Bulawayo Hospital for surgery.
In court, Matekesa pleaded guilty to assault.
She was fined $100 or three months in prison.
