Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69565, member: 636"] Robert Mugabe Jnr received a suspended prison sentence and a fine for drug possession. A Harare magistrate ordered him to pay a 300 US dollar fine for possessing two grammes of dagga. He also received a three-month prison term, which was suspended for five years on the condition he does not commit a similar offense. Magistrate Lisa Mutendereki explained that the sentence considered his guilty plea and his status as a youthful offender. She also stated that courts must participate in combating prevalent drug abuse. Failure to pay the fine would result in a four-month jail term. His arrest occurred last month after police stopped him for driving the wrong way on Second Street Extension. A search of his bag revealed the dagga, along with rolling papers and a crusher. [/QUOTE]
