A tragic incident occurred in Gokwe, where a 24-year-old man, Alfred Kamambo, was fatally stabbed with his own okapi knife during a confrontation with his 17-year-old friend, Tinashe Katsikadova.
The altercation arose after Kamambo accused Katsikadova of failing to deliver a parcel to his wife. The incident took place at Mutemarongo Tuckshop in Mutemarongo Village, Gokwe South, under Chief Nemangwe.
Kamambo confronted Katsikadova about the undelivered parcel, leading to a heated argument and subsequent fight.

Kamambo died on the spot, and Katsikadova was later arrested by the police. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
