A 33-old-man who shares the same name and surname with suspended SuperSport United winger, Kudakwashe Mahachi, was stoned to death in Makokoba, Bulawayo.
Kudakwashe Mahachi died at Mpilo Central Hospital in Bulawayo after he was stoned by unknown assailants.
He was found lying unconscious in Makokoba.
Nkosiyabo Sibanda, the lawyer representing Kuda Mahachi the football player, said the Mahachi who died was not the 28-year-old Warriors forward, his client. Sibanda told The Chronicle:
The Kuda who died is not the Kuda I represent. My client is still alive.
