A 27-year-old Bindura woman, Ropafadzo Kalolo, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison after being convicted of assaulting a teenager in a brutal incident sparked by a dispute over USD16.

Kalolo appeared before the Bindura Magistrates’ Court on charges stemming from an altercation that took place on November 11, 2023. She accused a 15-year-old girl of stealing her aunt’s money and confronted her at her residence in Chiwaridzo, Bindura. During the confrontation, Kalolo attacked the teenager with switches and went on to burn her left palm using a gas stove.

The victim sustained severe burns and required treatment at both Bindura Provincial Hospital and a private clinic.

The court sentenced Kalolo to three years in prison, with six months suspended for five years on condition of good behavior. She will serve an effective 30 months behind bars.
