Ngwenya sustained serious head injuries after the attack.
Ngwenya confirmed the attack and said Marumbini accused him of having an affair with his wife.
“Marumbini accused me of having an affair with his wife. He attacked me at BancABC last Friday. It was a politically motivated attack. My opponents know very well that I am going to win resoundingly so they want to discredit me,” said Ngwenya.
Marumbini was arrested for the assault and he was released after Ngwenya had signed an affidavit to withdraw the case.
” I withdrew the case because Marumbini pleaded for mercy through his relatives. You can talk to Marumbini because he is the one who has a story to tell,” he said.
However Marumbini said:”I cannot discuss the issue with people who are not my relatives, goodbye.” – ZimEye
