In a statement the NPA said, “the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe encourages members of the public to desist from violence and resolve their disputes amicably or seek third party mediation”
The prosecuting authority’s plea comes following another case of domestic violence brought to court where a Gweru man, Lwazilenkosi Ndlovu (33) was brought before the court facing domestic violence allegations.
The complainant in the case is a 53 year old woman who resides in the same village as the accused as the two are in a relationship’

The accused got angry and smashed two windows on the complainant’s house with a brick. The accused person was remanded in custody to the 16th of May.
