'Gamatox slur' Gomwe to do community service

Suspended Zanu-PF Harare provincial youth chairperson Godwin Gomwe was yesterday ordered to do 70 hours of community service for criminal insult when he appeared before Harare magistrate Takunda Mtetwa.

Gomwe was convicted of insulting Zanu-PF member Abraham Samushonga by calling him "Gamatox" and other unprintable words in a telephone conversation.

He was also convicted of insulting Zimbabwe Liberation War Collaborators' Association (Ziliwaca) executive Winnie Madekufamba at the ruling party's congress in December last year.
