CHAOS reigned supreme at the Gweru City Council Mayor's Parlour when one of the commissioners, Mark Choga, assaulted a resident, Francis Muzorera, after he demanded that the former explains to residents why the commission was reluctant on implementing the recommendations of an audit report as instructed by Minister, Saviour Kasukuwere.
Tempers exploded during the council meeting which was convened in the Mayor's Parlour where residents demanded that the commission fully implements the recommendations of the audit report as instructed by Kasukuwere.
Mr Choga attempted to leave the venue after residents demanded they explain the reasons in the delay in implementing the recommendations of the audit report.
The infuriated residents and Mr Muzorera allegedly blocked Mr Choga from leaving the venue resulting in the latter assaulting the former and also insulted him using unprintable words.
Muzorera alleges that Choga tripped him to the ground and assaulted him before twisting his arm which dislocated.
Choga confirmed assaulting Mr Muzorera but denied twisting his arm, leading to the dislocation. However, the commissioner said the action was in retaliation and self defence after residents attacked him with chairs while blocking his way.
