Truck driver fined over death of Tsvangirai's wife

HARARE (AFP) An aid truck driver involved in an accident that killed the wife of Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has been fined 200 dollars (140 euros) over the incident, state media reported on Saturday.

Chinowona Mwanda, who was driving a truck contracted by USAID to transport medical supplies, had denied causing the accident. He was found guilty of negligent driving that accidentally caused Susan Tsvangirai's death.

"According to the law, if one is convicted of an offence involving gross negligence, he or she should be jailed, but ordinary negligence attracts options of a fine or community service," The Herald newspaper quoted magistrate Tapera Bvudzijena as saying while handing down the sentence at Chivhu court.
