Former cabinet minister, Saviour Kasukuwere has been picked
up by the police and arraigned before a Harare Magistrate facing charges of
violating the Immigration Act by unlawfully exiting the country.
Kasukuwere, who returned last week after more than six
months in self imposed exile outside the country, was picked up this morning
for questioning.
Kasukuwere is among members of the G40 cabal that went into
hiding outside the country following Operation Restore Legacy that was
instituted by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.
Another member and Kasukuwere’s brother, Dickson Mafios,
was on Wednesday sentenced to 11 months in prison with an option of a fine over
the same offence.
Mafios (51) of Plot Number 2, Insingizi Farm, Bindura, was
convicted on his own plea of guilty when he appeared before Bindura magistrate,
Mrs Vongai Guwuriro yesterday.
He was eventually sentenced to six months in jail with an
option to pay a fine of $300, while the other five months were suspended on
condition that he does not commit a similar offence in the next five years.zbc
