Dar es Salaam. Actress Elizabeth Michael aka Lulu this week kicked off her community service in Dar es Salaam three days after she was from Segerea Prison.
Lulu together with 9 others have been deployed at the Ministry of internal affairs where she will serve her probation until November 2018 which was supposed to be her release date.
According to probation officer Charles Nsanze the actress is required to serve 20 hours per week which translates to four hours daily from Monday to Friday.
“She will not attend to the assigned duties on Saturday and Sundays plus all the Public holidays” Nsanze told Mwananchi.
The actress was sentenced to two years in prison in November last year for causing the death of celebrated Tanzanian actor Stephen Kanumba. Lulu was found guilty of killing Kanumba after she pushed him away following an argument over a phone call she had received.
Kanumba slid and fell on the floor, hitting the back of his head. He died moments later.
The case dragged for five years until last year when High Court Judge Sam Rumanyika sentenced Lulu to two years in prison for manslaughter.
Lulu had initially chosen not to appeal the sentence.
