A Bulawayo City Council (BCC) security guard Mr Andrew Nkala was attacked by three men looking for dog carcasses at Westondale dumping site near the National Railways of Zimbabwe Steam Shed. Nkala was taken to Mpilo Central Hospital for treatment.
Speaking to The Chronicle yesterday, Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango said they are investigating the attack on Nkala. She urged members of the public to come forward with information that may lead to the arrest of the three assailants. She urged members of the public not to buy meat from vendors. Said Simango:
We are investigating an incident where three unknown assailants attacked a city council security guard after he tried to bar them from gaining entrance to the dogs dump site. The three wanted to dig for carcasses of dogs that were put down by the SPCA. They used shovels to severely attack the security guard, breaking his leg and leaving him for dead. They only left him after he had lost his consciousness.
She said the attack was confirmation that Mr Ndebele was not selling dog meat alone.
