PATRICIA JACK IN CUSTODY! Like A Song On Repeat, Social Influencer Returns To Court
PATRICIA JACK BACK IN CUSTODY, IT’S NOW BEGINNING TO SOUND LIKE A SONG THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON REPEAT. If you have read this before in this newspaper, and you think we’ve made a mistake by repeating an earlier story that we carried, we can totally understand your feelings.
The only problem is that you are wrong. It’s the same person but a different case altogether. Yesterday, Pattricia Jack, a convict who in April was found guilty of disorderly conduct at a police station, has been remanded in custody again. She appeared before the Harare Magistrates’ Court facing fresh allegations of cyberbullying and harassment.

Prior Court Case | Harare Magistrates’ Court
Highlands Police Station Incident & Disorderly Conduct Conviction
The accused previously appeared in court over a disruptive incident at Highlands Police Station earlier this year.
Pattricia Jack is now becoming a common feature at the Harare Magistrates’ Court. Her previous conviction stems from a highly disruptive incident earlier this year at Highlands Police Station.
Chaos at Highlands Police Station
In April, she allegedly caused disturbances at Highlands Police Station where she insulted police officers, made accusations of bribery, and threatened to use powerful connections to have officers dismissed.
Prosecution Account
Prosecutors told the court that she arrived following the arrest of a friend and began shouting at police officers, using vulgar language and making claims involving government officials.
Her conduct was said to have disrupted police operations and tarnished the reputation of the station.
Court Judgment | Harare Magistrate
Guilty Plea, US$150 Fine & Conditional Sentence
The magistrate delivered sentencing after considering mitigation factors and issuing a formal warning.
Pattricia Jack pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct when she appeared before Harare magistrate Tapiwa Kuhudzai in the earlier case.
She was fined US$150 or face 30 days imprisonment in default of payment.
She told the court she is a divorcee, a mother of an 11-year-old child, and works as a social influencer. She apologised and promised not to repeat the offence.
“Such kind of conduct cannot be tolerated in our jurisdiction. The court considered that she was a first-time offender and a single mother.”

The Limits of the Law
