By A Correspondent- Arrested MDC Alliance leaders Joana Mamombe and Cecelia Chimbiri have been hauled to Harare Magistrates Court where they are appearing together with Netsai Mrova who is out on bail.

The trio are appearing in Court 15 and magistrate Bianca Makwande is presiding over their case while they are being represented by the ZLHR’s Mutongi Bhamu.

Said a source privy to the development:

“The magistrate who is presiding over this case is the same person who denied the trio bail last year in July 2020.

There are documents/ papers being sent to and fro in the court room. We are yet to be furnished regards what is really happening since there is a mute exchange of documents.

But we suspect the problem rests on the person presiding in this case.

The girls are now appearing in Court for the Second time after their initial appearance at the High court for the 151th time since 13 May 2020.

This is despite that they are the victims of abduction and abuse after they were tortured and sexually abused by state security agents.”
