He also lost the firearm to the State after it was forfeited. Mpofu, who had denied the two counts of flouting the country’s firearms law, also risks going to jail for two months in the event he fails to pay the fine. Magistrate Ms Anita Tshuma convicted Mpofu after the prosecution proved a solid case against him on both counts after a full trial.
“Accused does not want to reform or abide by the law considering that he was given a chance when he was made to pay a fine by the police in 2006 when the unlicensed firearm in question was found in possession of a minor in school premises,” he said.
