The matter came to light when Frank Munhukwaye of Highfield sttod before Miss Eunice Chimweta facing charges of contravening the Criminal Law (Reform and Codification) Act.
It is the state’s case that:
On January 15, Munhukwaye arrived at the border Post at around 4pm where he attempted to intimidate immigration officials to allow him passage under the guise of running errands for the President’s son.
The court heard that while at the port of entry, he approached the head of station, Mr Nqobile Ncube, indicating that he was on a secret operation and must be allowed passage into the neighbouring country.

Mr Sakhile Mnangagwa was contacted and he denied having any relationship with the accused. The matter was reported to the police leading to Munhukwaye’s arrest.
