The two are neighbours.
Sithole was stabbed a number of times and was rushed to Chitungwiza Central Hospital where he was admitted.

When Sithole ordered Masaire to leave the place, the latter became violent.
Masaire allegedly drew a kitchen knife from his right trousers pocket and stabbed Sithole on the left arm, chin, left side of the chest, left rib and lower abdomen.
Masaire tried to flee from the scene but he was blocked by members of the public who heard Sithole shouting for help.
