Arusha. The High Court of Tanzania, Sumbawanga Sub-Registry, has conditionally discharged Mr Ng’umbu Kapeza, popularly known as Masanja, after noting a reconciliation reached with his former wife, whom he attacked with a machete, with the pair later restoring their relationship and even having a child after the incident.
The ruling was delivered on Friday, May 29, 2026, by Justice Thadeo Mwenempazi, who ordered that the accused be released on condition that he does not commit any criminal offence for 12 months.
The court said that despite the seriousness of the offence and the severe harm suffered by the victims, it also considered the reconciliation between the parties, the remorse shown by the accused, and the fact that peace had been restored within the family.
