A Chinhoyi widow, Joyce Nhevera of Madzudzo Village under Chief Magonde and her 26-year-old son, Eddington Tutuma, were sentenced to 420 hours of community service for engaging in an incestuous relationship when they appeared before Chinhoyi magistrate Miss Brenda Dhliwayo.
Initially Dhliwayo had sentenced them to 18 months in prison before setting aside six months on condition that they do not commit any offence of a sexual nature. In passing the sentence, the Magistrate said a custodial sentence would be too harsh before commuting the remaining 12 months to community service. Nhevera will serve her 420 hours community service at Kenzamba Primary School, while Tutuma will serve at Gudubu Primary School in Mhangura.
