A police officer, who allegedly said President Robert Mugabe was "too old to rule and married to a prostitute", was actually canvassing support for former Vice-President Joice Mujuru's Zimbabwe People First party, the court heard yesterday.

Thompson Joseph Mloyi (44) is being charged with insulting the President or Office of the President by allegedly uttering the words denigrating Mugabe and his wife, First Lady Grace Mugabe, while at Cranborne Police Station on March 5.

Mloyi's trial opened yesterday just after magistrate, Tendai Mahwe threw out his application for referral to the Constitutional Court.

Mloyi is attached to the Police Reaction Group based at Cranborne Police Station.
