A Total Garage employee in Bulawayo who said to her subordinate that he must leave Zanu PF the party of thugs or risk losing his job indicating that President Robert Mugabe's party is rubbish has been found not guilty and discharged.

Irene Mudzembwe (32) of Emakhandeni in Bulawayo allegedly sent a grossly offensive or threatening message in contravention of the Section 88 (a) of the Post and telecommunications Act Chapter 12:02.

Represented by Kholwani Ngwenya, she appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Evelyn Mashavakure. She filed an application for discharge citing lack of evidence.

She was found not guilty and discharged.

The court heard that on June 28 this year at 8:09am Mudzembwe was at work at the Total Garage in the Bulawayo city Centre when she sent an offensive text message to her work mate Give more Mangena.

The message read, "You have now signed a contract Siyana ne Zanu PF yako, party yemondi or risk losing your job- party raMugabe ndeye rubbish, meaning, "You have now signed a contract, leave your Zanu PF or risk losing your job- Party of Mugabe is rubbish."

Mangena reported the matter to the police leading to Mudzembwe's arrest.
