DJ Fantan & Levels Sentenced To 12 Months In Jail
Popular music producers DJ Fantan and Levelz of Chillspot Records have been sentenced to 12 months in prison for hosting a musical bash in Mbare on New Year’s Eve. The two will spend 6 months in prison after the court suspended 6 months from their sentence.
DJ Fantan, real name Arnold Kamudyariwa (33), and Levelz, real name Tafadzwa Kadzimwe (31) together with Simbarashe “Dhama” Chanachimwe (27) were found guilty of ‘convening a public gathering during a national lockdown’ in contravention of Statutory Instrument 77 of 2020 of the COVID-19 regulations for hosting the musical bash.

When the three appeared before Harare Magistrate Vongai Guwuriro, they did not dispute the allegations and readily pleaded guilty to the charge. The court then convicted them on their own plea.

In passing sentence, Magistrate Guwuriro said that she had taken into account that the three had not wasted the court’s time by pleading guilty to the charges.

Despite this, she sentenced DJ Fantan, Levels and Dhama to 12 months in prison. The prosecutor Michael Reza had asked for the court to impose a custodial sentence of one year in jail as well as a fine of $400,000 (approximately US$5 000 using the official exchange rate).

However, The magistrate suspended 6 months on condition of good behaviour leaving the trio to serve an effective six months in prison. Guwuriro went on to say that she could not commute the remaining 6 months to community service because Chief Justice Luke Malaba had issued an order suspending community service for the next 30 days due to the Covid-19 national lockdown.
The magistrate also said that she could not fine the three in lieu of a custodial sentence as this would trivialise the crime the three had committed.
DJ Fantan handed himself over to the police after ZRP national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi announced that the police had launched a manhunt for him. This was after the police arrested 52 people for taking part in and organising a Passa Passa on 31 December 2020, which was attended by thousands of youths in Mbare.

Best Mortgage Refinance Options When Interest Rates Are High

Mortgage refinancing can help homeowners save money, lower monthly payments, change loan terms, or access home equity. But when interest rates are high, refinancing becomes more complicated.

rnrn

A mortgage refinance means replacing your current home loan with a new one. The new loan may have a different interest rate, payment amount, loan length, or structure.

rnrn

The most common reason to refinance is to get a lower interest rate. But if current rates are higher than your existing mortgage rate, refinancing may not make sense unless you have another financial goal.

rnrn

Some homeowners refinance to switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage. This can provide more predictable monthly payments.

rnrn

Others use a cash-out refinance to access home equity. This means borrowing more than you currently owe and receiving the difference in cash. The money may be used for home improvements, debt consolidation, or major expenses. However, this increases your mortgage balance and may raise your monthly payment.

rnrn

When rates are high, homeowners should carefully calculate the break-even point. This is how long it takes for monthly savings to cover closing costs. If you plan to move soon, refinancing may not be worth it.

rnrn

You should also compare lenders. Mortgage refinance rates, fees, closing costs, and loan terms can vary. A lower rate may not always be the best deal if the fees are too high.

rnrn

Credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, home value, and equity all affect refinance approval and pricing. Improving your credit and reducing debt before applying may help you qualify for better terms.

rnrn

Refinancing can be useful, but it is not always the right move. Homeowners should compare the total cost, monthly payment, loan length, and long-term savings before making a decision.

rnrn

The best refinance option is the one that fits your financial goals, not just the one with the lowest advertised rate.
