Driver In DIS Operative Case Discharged

Ndwapi was accused of hitting the DIS official vehicle while driving under the influence of alcohol back in 2015. Even though the driver of the vehicle, security agent Galani Nnadzwa was also driving under the influence of alcohol, he was not charged but turned state witness instead.

When discharging and acquitting the accused this week, Willie said the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. He said that the evidence led by the prosecution was of such a poor quality and no court could rely on it.  “The State has argued that the accused voluntarily submitted to the test, but the evidence led is contradictory, the Prosecution Witness Number 1 testified that the accused wanted to call a lawyer so that she knows her rights and that she was too loud in the room and refused to sign the transcript. This is a material contradiction that blemishes the State case and renders the evidence unreliable,” said Willie.
