HARARE – Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) president Henrietta Rushwaya was Wednesday fined US$5,000 following her recent conviction over a foiled attempt to smuggle 6kgs of gold to Dubai via Robert Mugabe International Airport in 2020. Pisirayi Kwenda, sitting at the Harare High Court, gave Rushwaya a suspended 18 months jail term noting that locking her up would make her a hard-core criminal.
