Ngarivhume jailed 3 years

OPPOSITION Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume was yesterday sentenced to four years in jail on charges of inciting public violence in 2020 by Harare magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka.

Ngarivhume will, however, serve three years without an option of a fine after a year was suspended on condition of good behaviour.

In mitigation, Ngarivhume’s lawyer Lovemore Madhuku had pleaded for a lenient sentence to allow his client to contest in the upcoming elections.
