FORMER Police Officer Commanding the Criminal
Investigations Department’s Drugs Section, Luckson Mukwazhi, will perform 315
hours of community service at Mabelreign Police Station after he was convicted
of bigamy.
Mukwazhi, who was being charged with bigamy, was convicted
on his own plea of guilty. He was initially jailed for a year when he appeared
before Harare magistrate, Victoria Mashamba, who suspended three months of his
jail term for three years.
Prosecutor, Ms Flossy Jambanja, told the court that on
April 10, 1987, Mukwazhi legalised his union with Winnie Njanji under Chapter
37 of the Marriages Act.
On December 13, 2001, Mukwazhi went on to wed Joice Marufu
without cancelling his first marriage to Njanji.
The two unions were noted by the Registrar of Marriages who
then notified the police, leading to Mukwazhi’s arrest. Herald
