Three months were suspended on condition that he does not commit the same offence in five years.
Tamangani was represented by Edwin Hamunakwadi and Knowledge Maeresera.

I would like to set the record straight here on the malicious& half-baked yellow story by @HeraldZimbabwe . Janet Tamangani& I have known each other since our parents were friends. They were both in Zambia. We lived in Waterfalls together& both of us went to Lord Malvern.
