A MUTARE man, who allegedly assaulted another resident for wearing a Zanu-PF cap will spend the Heroes' and Defence Forces holidays behind bars after he was remanded in custody to August 21 by magistrate Lazarus Murendo.

Chekwa allegedly sustained a swollen knee, but was not medically examined.
A police report was made, leading to the arrest of the accused person.
