Chief Felix Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni of Ntabazinduna near Bulawayo has been imprisoned for 18 months after he was convicted on charges of destroying a villager’s property.
According to torreports by ZBC, the 54-year-old chief was initially handed a 24 months jail term but six months were suspended on the condition that he does not commit a similar offence within five years.
Chief Ndiweni and the accomplices were convicted for damaging the property belonging Mr Fetti Mbele’s property, who had been banished from the village by the chief after his wife Ms Nonkangelo Mpengesi was allegedly caught having lula lula with another villager.
In July last year, Chief Ndiweni ruled that Mr Mbele and his ‘adulterous’ wife should be banished from Sifelani village, saying ‘prost_itution’ will not be tolerated in his area.
During trial, Kimpton Sibanda (72), a village head and two other villagers, claimed they were ordered by Chief Ndiweni to destroy Mbele’s garden fence and kraal for defying the Chief’s verdict.
In convicting magistrate, Ms Gladmore highlighted that the case was committed in a barbaric manner and the first accused person is a man of authority who is mandated to protect his subjects and ensure harmony in the community.
