By Farai D Hove| Former Finance Minister Ignatius Chombo has had no joy today as his appeal for bail was lifted once again.

Chombo together with former Zanu-PF Youth League leader Kudzanayi Chipanga are appealing for bail in their case on charges ranging from corruption to publishing or communicating false statements prejudicial to the state as defined in Section 31 (a) (iii) of the Criminal (Codification and Reform) Act Chapter 9.23 or alternatively causing disaffection among the police force or defence forces.

It was a sombre scene as Chombo had his appeal lifted once again. The hearing was postponed until tomorrow as the State request more time to file its response. State prosecutor Mr Edmore Nyazamba sought postponement arguing they received a transcript of the record of proceedings from the magistrates’ court late.

The former ZANU PF Youth leader, Chipanga, is charged with publishing or communicating false statements prejudicial to the state as defined in Section 31 (a) (iii) of the Criminal (Codification and Reform) Act Chapter 9.23 or alternatively causing disaffection among the police force or defence forces.

  2. Are you sure Mugabe is down and out, much as I know him? He is not someone to give up that easily.

    Watch boxing. Buster Douglas was knocked out by Mike Tyson in the 7th or 8th round but later on Douglas gathered enough strength to knock out Tyson. This may happen in politics.Like mushroom, Mugabe may rise once again.

  5. This idea of arresting people simply becoz they were against mnangagwa take over is rubbish.. please this is not good for democracy at ALL.

    those ministers sworn in are perenniallly-seasoned and habitual thieves.
