As the veil of uncertainty surrounding the arrest of Munyaradzi Febion Kufahakutizwi begins to lift, new details have surfaced, shedding light on the alleged incident that led to his detention. The case, titled "The State versus Munyaradzi Febion Kufahakutizwi," reveals a narrative that unfolded on the afternoon of November 18, 2023, on Shashe Crescent in New Mabvuku, Harare.

According to police  documents, the complainant in the case is Michael Nyasulu, a 35-year-old self-employed male residing at house number 72 Shashe Crescent. The accused, Munyaradzi Febion Kufahakutizwi, a male adult residing at number 9551 New Mabvuku, Harare, is not related to the complainant.

The incident took place at approximately 1400 hours, where a funeral was being held at number 59 Shashe Crescent, New Mabvuku. The funeral drew a large crowd of mourners, some of whom had gathered in the garden opposite Michael Nyasulu's residence, causing damage to his property.

An altercation ensued when Nyasulu asked the mourners to move away from his garden. Subsequently, Nyasulu went to a nearby beer hall and, upon returning home, found himself targeted by an unknown individual who observed him wearing a ZANU PF cap. Munyaradzi Febion Kufahakutizwi, identified as the accused, allegedly approached Nyasulu, grabbed him by the collar, and assaulted him with clenched fists. The assault was reportedly based on an accusation that Nyasulu had thrown stones at the mourners.

In an attempt to escape the assault, Nyasulu fled and was rescued by his brother, William Nyasulu. Subsequently, Michael Nyasulu reported the incident to the ZRP Mabvuku, where he filed an official complaint. The complainant underwent a medical examination, and a medical report has been prepared, which is expected to be presented in court.

The poluce documents unequivocally state that the accused, Munyaradzi Febion Kufahakutizwi, acted unlawfully during the altercation. The emergence of these fresh details provides a more comprehensive understanding of the alleged incident, transforming it from a political narrative to a legal matter rooted in an altercation between individuals during a funeral procession.

He has been released on free bail.
