Musengezi who had spent about three weeks in remand prison,
was acquitted on the culpable homicide charge but was found guilty on a lesser
charge of failing to stop after an accident.
The businessman was fined US$150 and banned from driving
for 30 days. H Metro said it was not clear why ZACC arrested him.
Musengezi was involved in an accident which left a man dead
along Samora Machel Avenue in Harare. In his defence, Musengezi told the court
that the other car swerved into his lane, presumably as a last-gap measure to
avoid collision with rubble which was on the street and, without due care,
subtly clipped the rear right end part of his vehicle.
The magistrate agreed with his version of events and said
the other driver might have been drunk because his evidence was marred with too
many inconsistencies.
