SIMPLY being a cop, can mark you for death in Bulawayo’s Queenspark West suburb.
It is a place said to be crawling with characters like Mduduzi Sibanda (22) from Kingsdale suburb, who after a sip of the cheap stuff head for the nearest cop and bean him on the skull with a bottle.
This curious characteristic has landed Sibanda in the dock, answering to assault charges.
Prosecutor Mehluli Ndlovu told the Bulawayo Magistrate courts at Tredgold Building that on 30 August 2025, around 10PM, Sibanda allegedly approached police officer Luckmore Maganga at Wise Waters Bar and smacked him once on the head with a beer bottle — for no apparent reason.
The complainant was rushed to hospital for treatment, and a medical report was produced in court as evidence.
Sibanda’s night of “fun” has landed him in the big house and left everyone at Wise Waters wondering if happy hour just got a little too happy.
He pleaded not guilty before Bulawayo Magistrate Casmila Madzikatire this week but was convicted due to overwhelming evidence. Sibanda was slapped with 24 months in prison, with 10 months suspended for good behaviour. While the rest were suspended on the condition he completes 490 hours of community service.
