Patson Dzamara begins community service for 'stealing' an officer's helmet and baton stick.

Activist Patson Dzamara started serving his community service sentence at the Harare MagistratesCourt yesterday. This comes after Dzamara was found guilty of obstruction of justice for allegedly stealing a policeman’s hat and baton stick last year.  He was sentenced to 12 months in prison. 3 months were, however, suspended on condition of good behaviour, and the 9 remaining months were suspended on condition that he performs 315 hours of community service.
