Worker who made joke about Robert Mugabe's bum is jailed for three months

A shocked man has been jailed for three months for jokingly comparing someone to Robert Mugabe’s bum.

Factory worker Clemence Zikhali was in his local boozer in Zimbabwe when he referred to a fellow drinker as “a Mugabe’s a***”.

But the victim, a supporter of fading despot Mugabe reported him to cops.

Zikhali, from the town of Gwanda, was convicted at Bulawayo magistrates court of behaviour likely to cause public disorder.

His lawyer, Norman Mangena, said: “He mentioned the president in jest. It was not a direct insult to the president.”

Arrests are common in Zimbabwe for breaching the strict public order laws and slandering power-crazed Mugabe, 88.
