A member of the Zimbabwe National Army based at the Llewellin Baracks in Bulawayo was in trouble after he assaulted his wife accusing her of infidelity.
Lizwe Mpofu (38) was lucky to be freed after his wife withdrew the case.
He had pleaded guilty to the charge of domestic violence when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Evelyn Mashavakure.
He apologized to the court and his wife for the offence.
The court heard that the complainant in the matter was his wife Violet Mpofu (34).
It is the state case that on July 34 at 6.20pm the two were in the city where Mpofu was drinking beer. His wife later asked him to accompany her to board transport to go back to her home in Pumula South, but Mpofu refused and accused her of being promiscuous.
A quarrel ensued resulting to Mpofu bashing her with clinched fists and also kicked her on the stomach several times.
She sustained injuries and went to hospital. A report made to the police led to Mpofu's arrest.
