A simple slap on the cheek could prove costly for a 21-year-old man whose colleague fell down, bleed profusely and then died.
Tafadzwa Karumbidza of Molife Village under Chief Chinamhora, last week appeared in court facing murder charges following the altercation.
Harare magistrate Mr Donald Ndirowei advised Karumbidza to apply for bail at the High Court.
He is expected back in court on Thursday.
Appearing for the State, Ms Sharon Mashavira alleged that on December 15 at Chirodzero Business Centre in Domboshava, Karumbidza slapped Witness Cheza following an undisclosed argument. It is alleged that Cheza fell on his back and started bleeding from the mouth and nose.
He was taken to Makumbe Mission Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
