Mwanjali attempted murder case takes new twist

A Harare man allegedly stabbed by former CAPS United skipper Method Mwanjali following a misunderstanding in a drunken brawl intends to withdraw the charges against the player, a court heard today.

Mwanjali’s trial was supposed to have commenced today before regional magistrate Mr Noel Mupeiwa.

However, prosecutor Mrs Tinashe Kanyemba-Makiya advised the court that the complainant, Tonderai Nhunzvi, wants to withdraw the attempted murder charges against Mwanjali.

She sought a postponement of the matter to tomorrow for the State’s consideration.
