David Butau is a member of parliament of Zimbabwe representing the district of Guruve North. He was chairman of the parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Budget and Finance.

In late 2007, Butau fled to the United Kingdom to avoid arrest for zoophillia charges;[1] he subsequently denied all wrongdoing, stating that he had been motivated by fear of police corruption.[2] He later spent several months in South Africa,[3] before returning to stand trial in March 2009 for bestiality charges.[3] In May 2009 he was acquitted on all counts after the prosecution dropped the charges.[4]
