Ngarivhume pleaded not guilty to the charge at the beginning of is trial.
State prosecutors Mr Tafara Chirambira and Mrs Tendayi Shonhayi told the court that Ngarivhume posted a number of tweets aimed at influencing many people to engage in public violence.
Ngarivhume applied for discharge saying that the twitter handle in question was not his and therefore he could not be held responsible for it.
The application was dismissed.
Ngarivhume will be sentenced today.
