A top Bulawayo City Council official in the Engineering department, assistant director of Engineering Services, Mbuthi Gugu Mkhwananzi, died on Saturday at Mater Dei Hospital after he was allegedly assaulted by a rival suitor after the two clashed at a girlfriend's house in the city.
Mkhwananzi succumbed to injuries he allegedly sustained after the brutal attack on Tuesday morning, Sunday News reported.
The publication said Mkwananzi was at his lover's home in Four Winds suburb when he was attacked by the rival suitor.
