A magistrate has been fined US$400 or five months in prison for culpable homicide following a fatal road accident.
Makunde Timeon Tavengwa (46) appeared before the Masvingo Magistrates Court facing culpable homicide charges.
On November 22, 2023, Tavengwa was driving a Nissan X-Trail along the Harare-Masvingo Road when he hit Misheck Makuvire, a school pupil who was crossing the road.
The child died on the spot.
Investigations revealed that the accident occurred in clear daylight on a wide tarred road.
The court heard that Tavengwa was negligent as he failed to keep a proper look-out as he was speeding.
