The eldest son of Zimbabwe's first lady Grace Mugabe has been convicted of manslaughter and fined $800 (£520).
Russell Goreraza knocked down and killed an unidentified man in his car in the capital, Harare, in February.
"I regret and want to apologise for the incident," President Robert Mugabe's 31-year-old stepson told the court.
The magistrate said he had considered cancelling the accused's licence and sending him to jail but opted for a fine because of his remorse.
He is Mrs Mugabe's first son from her marriage to Stanley Goreraza, a diplomatic military attache. Unlike his mother, he has steered clear of politics and has mining and farming interests.
Mrs Mugabe began a relationship with President Mugabe whilst working as a typist in state house in the late 1980s. They married in 1996 and have three children.
