A Bulawayo magistrate has sentenced a South African citizen who illegally stayed in Zimbabwe to three months in jail which was wholly suspended  before ordering her deportation back to her country.

Moalusi Denise Salamina (46) of 4064 Krugersdorp in SA pleaded guilty to the charge when she appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Tinashe Tashaya.

The magistrate convicted and sentenced her to three months in jail which was wholly suspended for five years on condition of good behaviour. The magistrate also ordered that she be deported back to South Africa.

The court heard that on March 29 this year at 9am accused went to immigration offices in Bulawayo where she had some businesses to do.  She approached John Mpofu who is an immigration office who then asked her to produce  permit which shows her to be in Zimbabwe legal but she failed.  Her passport had no entry  certificate  this led to her arrest.
