PLUMTREE \u2014 A local woman was sentenced to 105 hours of community service at the Plumtree Magistrates Court on Monday after she admitted to assaulting a male neighbour she accused of stealing her underwear from a washing line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dupuo Moyo faced charges of assault after she physically attacked Wellington Kangorongondo, 31, following a heated argument over the missing garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her plea for leniency, Moyo told the court that she was provoked by the alleged theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour worship, spare me a jail term. I assaulted this man out of anger because he stole my pant. I did not know his intentions, so I bashed him,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presiding Magistrate Joshua Nembaware convicted Moyo and handed down a six-month prison sentence, which was conditionally suspended in favour of community service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prosecutor, Sheila Nyathi, outlined the facts of the case to the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe incident occurred in September when Moyo returned home around 9pm and had a misunderstanding with Wellington Kangorongondo. Moyo then assaulted him with open hands, leaving him with a swollen face,\u201d Nyathi stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The case has drawn attention to the often-tense nature of neighbourhood disputes in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
