assault.
Didymus Bande (35), who is councillor for Ward 4 in Epworth, appeared before provincial magistrate Mr Kudakwashe Jarabini who remanded him out of custody to October 5 this year for trial.
The complainant in the matter is Getrude Chivende of Epworth who is a Zanu-PF supporter.
On January 22 this year, Chivende went to see Samuel Shumbamhini who is the Zanu-PF secretary for Kugarika Kushinga branch in Epworth.
She met Bande at Shumbamhini’s place who was in the company of two others, it is alleged.
The State says Bande and his accomplices who are still at large punched and kicked her.
As a result of the assault she dislocated her left leg.
