An Epworth Zanu-PF activist, Dunmore Mapfumo, who went on a rampage attacking and stabbing people who refused to attend a political gathering in April this year, was yesterday slapped with a six-year jail term after being convicted of attempted murder.
Mapfumo (35) was also facing charges of assaulting police officers and resisting arrest when he appeared before Harare regional magistrate Elijar Makomo.
He will, however, serve a four-and-a-half-year effective jail term after Makomo suspended one and a half years on condition of good behaviour.
Makomo lambasted Mapfumo's behaviour, saying he was callous when he stabbed Osman Chakaoma, leaving his intestines protruding.
