admintwo children, has been ordered to perform 245 hours of community service.
Magistrate Mr Archie Wochiunga slapped Tinashe Henry Madzorera with a 13-month jail term but suspended six months for five years on condition he does not commit a similar offence within that period.
The remainder of the sentence was set aside on condition that Tinashe performs 245 hours of community service at Borrowdale Police Station.
Tinashe had pleaded not guilty to two counts of culpable homicide.
Mr Wochiunga, in his judgment, noted that Tinashe was speeding and had failed to negotiate a curve.
The court also found that he failed to react quickly when the accident was imminent.
Charges against Tinashe arose on June 30 last year when he was driving an Isuzu double-cab truck (registration number ABI 8771) along Harare Drive at 70km per hour.
He lost control of the vehicle and veered off the road hitting Primrose Mawire (15) and Takudzwa Chenjayani (7). The two died from severe head injuries.
Ms Patience Chimusaru prosecuted.
