Cooper Daniel
Colin, 33, Pretorius Walter James Seymour, 51 and Germishuizen Danica, 23,
pleaded guilty to the offence when they appeared before Harare magistrate Vakai
Chikwekwe.
The three were
ordered to pay a fine of US$200 each or risk facing four months imprisonment.
The court heard
that Seymour and Danica are crash Data Forensic experts. The two, who are based
in Johannesburg, came into Zimbabwe on August 20 and were issued with Business
Visas by immigration authorities.
The purpose of
their visit was to investigate the accident crime scene at the Hunyani River
Bridge where 17 people perished.
The duo teamed
up with Colin and proceeded to the accident scene where they started marking
the scrap marks using paint and a tape measure.
In so doing,
the three were obstructing the movement of traffic from Harare CBD to
Chitungwiza, thereby causing a traffic jam.
They were
arrested by Chief Inspector Mapepa, who was also driving along the same road,
after they failed to give a satisfactory explanation as to why they were
performing that task without informing the local authorities. H Metro
