Shingirai Garikai (54), Mutanga Garikai Zengeya (49) and Maxwell Garikai (56), all of Zengeya village in Chihota, were all convicted of the charges and ordered to pay a $20 fine or serve a 10-day prison sentence.
According to court papers, on October 24, 2016, Shingirai and Maxwell had a land dispute about boundaries and approached the village head for mediation.
During the mediation process, Maxwell, in a fit of rage, walked away from the gathering.
However, this did not go well with Shingirai, who tried to stop him before a fight erupted.
