Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Mary Taruvinga<\/b> – THE High Court has been reduced the 12-month jail term of three popular music promoters Arnold Kamudyariwa (DJ Fantan) Tafadzwa Kadzimwe (DJ Levels) and Damma, born Simbarashe Chanachimwe.<\/p>\n

Their sentence has been reduced to three months with an option to pay a $2 000 fine each coupled with conditions of good behaviour for the next five years.<\/p>\n

Fantan and colleagues were out on bail pending appeal.<\/p>\n

Their appeal was heard by judges of appeal, Pisirayi Kwenda, and Benjamin Chikowero after the state conceded their sentence was too harsh.<\/p>\n

The three were convicted in January this year on their own guilty plea by the Harare provincial head magistrate, Vongai Muchuchuti.<\/p>\n

Muchuchuti slapped the trio with a 12-month jail sentence each before suspending six months of the jail terms on conditions of good behaviour.<\/p>\n

The three landed in jail after they organised a New Year\u2019s Eve bash against national Covid-19 regulations which bars gatherings.<\/p>\n

The party was attended by thousands of music fans in Harare\u2019s Matapi Flats.<\/p>\n

Fantan and accomplices told the court in mitigation that they were ready to become brand ambassadors and lead the youths in Covid-19 awareness campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
