Praying injiva nabbed

A South Africa-based Bulawayo man was arrested during a prayer session in Marondera over the weekend and fined $100 for entering the country using a passport bearing a Mozambican national’s name.

Sydney Gwatsvaire (40), of West Somerton in Bulawayo and Johannesburg in South Africa, was convicted on his own plea of guilty to contravening section (36) of the Immigration Act when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Tawanda Muchemwa yesterday.

He was fined $100 or two months in prison for entering the country illegally and using fake travel documents.
