A Mberengwa man was left with a 'dangling' leg after his sister hacked him with a machete in a dispute over isitshwala.
Portia Masendeke of Chief Nyamondo is said to have returned to her family homestead only to find his brother eating isitshwala.
Apparently, the brother had prepared the meal for himself only, B-Metro reported.

He sought treatment at Mberengwa District Hospital.
Portia was arrested and appeared before Christopher Maturure facing physical abuse charges.
She was handed a suspended 12 months jail term and sentenced to do 280 hours of community service.
