Ngonidzashe Chidembo (36) was convicted on his own plea of disorderly conduct when he appeared before Mutare magistrate Tendai Mahwe on Thursday.

According to prosecutor Fletcher Karombe, Chidembo went to cast his vote in the Zanu PF primary elections on April 30, but was turned away due to some irregularities.

Chidembo then grabbed the ballot box and ran away with it, but was later apprehended.
