Fake Zim Mutimen Escape Jail

When sentencing the accused person, Gift Chihwayi (27) and Phillip Rusari (39) Broadhurst Magistrate, Gaseitsewe Tonoki said on the first count, the two accused persons together with the other accused person, Tafala Chihwayi (42) have been charged with an offence of entering Botswana through an ungazetted point of entry - jumping the fence, which forms the boundary between Botswana and Zimbabwe on the exact date not known to the prosecution.

“Illegally, entering the country is total disrespect to that State’s immigration laws. This court cannot condone this because it can cause political and economic instability. After considering your mitigation, you are all sentenced to pay P5,000 each, failing which you will be faced with an imprisonment of five years,” Tonoki said.
