Former Finance minister, Ignatius Chombo and former Zanu Pf National Chairman, Kudzanai Chipanga had their stringent bail conditions relaxed.

Harare magistrate, Tilda Mazhande granted the variation following the successful application by Chombo’ s lawyer, Lovemore Madhuku, who argued that the stringent bail conditions were inhibiting his  client’s farming  activities.

Before the variation, Chombo was reporting three times daily and 21 days a month at the police station before these conditions were relaxed to once daily.

However, following the lateat variation, the former finance minister and Secretary for Administration in Zanu Pf will now report twice a week on Mondays and Fridays.

Chipanga, who was initially reporting 14 times a week will now be reporting twice a week between Mondays and Fridays.

Chombo is facing corruption, fraud, criminal abuse of office and theft of trust property charges while Chipanga is being charged together with Chombo, Mathew Nleya and Innocent Hamandishe of criminal nuisance allegations after they were found wearing Zanu PF regalia.
