Allegations against Sgt Mabhunu were that on May 6 he was on duty at the ZITF where President Mugabe was a guest.

He was tossed in the slammer the following day. As part of the sentence Sergeant Mabbhunu was also demoted from his post as a homicide detective and transferred to a remote police post. The privately owned Radio VOP on Wednesday reported that he had appealed to the police commissioner General Augustine Chihuri to overturn the sentence. |
