Harare magistrate Mrs Munashe Chibanda has deferred sentencing popular comedienne Felistus Murata, also known as Mai TT, to await a report from the Community Service Department.
Shockingly, it has come to light that the department has discovered Murata’s previous conviction for assault, where she failed to fulfill her community service obligations in Budiriro.
She will know her fate tomorrow.
“Your Worship, we have received new information from the Community Service Department after her vetting, that Murata was once convicted of assault and was sentenced to serve community service which she defaulted in Budiriro.
“Therefore, the State applies that she be remanded to Friday to give enough time for the Community Service Department to do its investigations,” said prosecutor Ms Monalisa Magwenzi.
However, Mrs Chibanda ruled that she would deliver her sentence tomorrow afternoon with expectations that the Community Service Department would have completed its findings.
Mai TT was convicted of theft of trust property after giving a rented vehicle as collateral to a loan shark.
Magistrate Munashe Chibanda ruled that the case was a classic example of theft of trust property and that the State had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
