Students acquitted over Mugabe assassination movie
NewsDay Staff ·
Two students from Masvingo Polytechnic facing charges of undermining the authority of President Robert Mugabe after they were caught watching a satirical movie depicting his assassination have been acquitted for lack of incriminating evidence.
However, Masvingo magistrate Stan Mambanje reserved judgment for the third female student, Monalisa Katsaruware, as she failed to attend court due to family problems.
The three were arrested in February this year after they were found watching the movie, Strike Back Zimbabwe, on a laptop at Masvingo Polytechnic College campus.
