MASHAVA - Blessing Chibangure, a Development Studies student at Great Zimbabwe University based at Mashava campus escaped death by a whisker after she was allegedly stabbed with a knife by her boyfriend following a misunderstanding on Wednesday afternoon.

Sherpard Jojo who is also a Development Studies (Part 1;2) student allegedly broke up with Chibangure few hours before he allegedly stabbed her several times on the neck at his place near GZU Mashava clinic. The two, who have been going out since last semester, allegedly had a misunderstanding that led to the separation which Jojo, however, could not take lightly.

Though Masvingo Police provincial spokesperson could not confirm the development by the time of going to the press, eye witnesses confirmed the development and said Jojo immediately bolted out of the room and disappeared before he surrendered himself to Mashava police few hours later.

Sources said Chibangure had gone to Jojo’s house to give back his laptop and cell phone which she was given before they broke up.

Chibangure confirmed the development before she was rushed to Masvingo General Hospital where she is currently receiving treatment.
