Citizens Coalition for Change spokesperson Fadzai Mahere has, after a full trial, been convicted for communicating falsehoods.
Mahere, the court ruled, lied through a tweet that a Zimbabwe Republic Police officer had beaten a baby on its mother’s back with a baton stick, leading to its death. The mother of the child has been identified as Rebecca Musariri.
Harare Regional magistrate, Taurai Manwere ruled that the CCC spokesperson undermined the police’s authority as it was not in dispute that the baby did not die, a fact Mahere failed to verify before tweeting.
It was noted Mahere’s conduct was reckless and detrimental to the State as it intended to undermine the police force and also eroded public confidence in the law enforcement agents.
