By Whistler | ANALYSIS | The MDC Alliance trio, Joana Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova are on trial today 5th October 2020 in court 14.

The trio with five others are on trial for allegedly taking part in an anti-government protest in Harare’s Warren Park suburb on the 13th May 2020.

The same case had a High court judge lashing out at the Regional magistrate, Bianca Makwande and her super litigant, a prosecutor by the name, Michael Reza who had denied the MDC trio bail on scant evidence.

The women were abducted from inside the Harare Central police station, driven out of Harare and tortured for over two days.

The judge criticised Makwande’s reasoning for denying the trio bail.

The magistrate since denying the women bail, “concerned herself with the consequences of a conviction, that is, the sentence before satisfying herself of the prospects of conviction which she ought to have easily done. The same Magistrate is still in disharmony with the scant evidence and has further imprisoned Joana Mamombe for allegedly creating a mental health case.

Joana Mamombe is on $10,000 bail issued by the High Court and it is a puzzle why she is in prison through the back door against the rule of law. There is a fishy scenario at the magistrates court – women against women. Even the ZBC documentary flashes the same scene: women used against the trio to narrate of fake events.

Why should the State stoop so low against its citizens and against the Rule of Law? – TOO FAR A JOURNEY.#4
