By A Correspondent | ZimEye | High Court judge Justice Gibson Mandaza has indefinitely adjourned AMH journalist Blessed Mhlanga’s bail appeal hearing.

Mhlanga is appealing for bail after being denied it by the lower court in a case where he is accused of publishing an interview with Zanu PF member and war veteran Blessed Geza, who is demanding that President Emmerson Mnangagwa step down for failing Zimbabweans.

The journalist has been behind bars for two weeks.

His bail appeal hearing was initially set for Monday but failed to proceed after the state requested that the matter be heard by the Anti-Corruption Court.

However, the request was dismissed, and the hearing was rescheduled for Wednesday.

On Wednesday, Mhlanga’s lawyer requested an adjournment after applying for further particulars to strengthen his bail argument.

Mhike said the state has not been forthcoming.

“We believe the importance of video evidence will support our arguments.

“We are raising this issue for the second time, hoping the High Court will grant a fairer hearing, as the magistrates’ court refused to consider it,” Mhike said, suggesting that the hearing could be adjourned to 12 midday.

Mandaza stated that he needed time to determine the application but did not specify when the court would reconvene.

He said the parties would be informed accordingly.
