As shown in the video, a driver hit a child at the traffic lights Corner Borrowdale Road and Harare Drive. This driver had the audacity to speed on without stopping. Fortunately they were caught in action on CCTV camera.

The driver, who has been identified as Herbert Chakanyuka appeared before Harare Magistrate Tendai Muchini. Following his guilty plea to negligent driving and failure to stop at the accident scene he was given a fine of $15 000. The $15 000 was split as follows; $5 000 for failing to stop at the scene and $10 000 for negligent driving.

This arrest was not the first that took place following the collective effort of sharing the related video on social media until it grabs the attention of the relevant authorities. Last week alone two robbers who had tormented the Ruwa, Damofalls area were caught after a video in which they were caught red-handed went viral on social media.
