Polite Weza (35) of Emakhandeni suburb whose video went viral on social media after he was caught pushing a plough stolen from a shop at Entumbane Shopping Complex during violent protests has been sentenced to five years in jail.

Weza was part of a mob that looted and burnt shops during last week’s violent protests organised by the MDC Alliance and civil society groups aligned to it.

He will serve an effective four years after one year was suspended for five years on condition that he does not commit a similar offence.
