Mugabe appeared before harare magistrate lisa mutendereki on thursday, where he entered a guilty plea. During his mitigation, he appealed for a lenient sentence, noting that he is a single father of two and a first-time offender. He told the court: “i am a farmer, raising two children on my own, earning us$7,000 a month, and i accepted responsibility for my actions.” the case stems from an october incident when police stopped mugabe during a traffic operation in harare.
Officers allegedly discovered two sachets of dagga, a pack of rizla rolling papers, and a white dagga crusher in his sling bag. He was initially held in custody for two nights before being released on us$300 bail by magistrate mutendereki. Court documents indicate that mugabe was apprehended while driving a silver honda fit (registration agy 5850) the wrong way on 2nd street extension. Prosecutor mandirasa chigumira confirmed that the two grams of dagga, valued at approximately us$30, will be used as evidence. Mugabe, represented by lawyer ashiel mugiya, is expected to be sentenced later today. Source: zimeye
