Zimbabwe's first lady Grace Mugabe's eldest son has been convicted of culpable homicide and fined $800 by a Harare magistrate.
According to www.bbc.com, Russell Goreraza knocked down and killed a man in his car in Harare, in February.
"I regret and want to apologise for the incident," the 31-year-old Goreraza told the court.
The magistrate said he had considered cancelling the accused's licence and sending him to jail but opted for a fine because of his remorse and the fact that he was a first-time offender.
Reportedly many are shocked that Goreraza did not get a jail term considering that two-year prison terms have been handed down in similar cases.
Goreraza is Grace Mugabe's first son from her marriage to Stanley Goreraza, a diplomatic military attache.
