Ex-State House boss loses freedom bid
Chief Court Reporter
FORMER principal director of State Residences, Douglas Tapfuma, has lost a High Court appeal to quash both conviction and a four-year imprisonment term imposed on him for criminal abuse of office.
Tapfuma was in July last year jailed effective four years and had six vehicles forfeited to the State following his conviction on three charges of criminal abuse of office.
Aggrieved with the trial court’s decision, Tapfuma took the matter up to the High Court on appeal.
But sitting as an appellant court, two judges of the High Court Justice Benjamin Chikowero and Justice Pisirayi Kwenda, upheld both the conviction and sentence.
