Jailed: A Zimbabwean man has been jailed for likening a fellow pub-goer to president Robert Mugabe's bottom A Zimbabwean man has been jailed for three months for likening a fellow pub-goer to president Robert Mugabe's bottom. Clemence Zikhali was imprisoned after a court ruled that he had broken the country's strict insult laws by calling the man 'a Mugabe's a***'. Mr Zikhali claimed in court that he had meant the comment as a joke and that he had not intended to offend the president. However, magistrate Sheila Nazombe rejected the claims and convicted the cement factory labourer of 'behaviour likely to cause public disorder'.
