Former Finance Minister Ignatius Chombo and former Zanu PF youth leaders Kudzanayi Chipanga and Innocent Hamandishe’s accomplice Mathew Mleya who has been on the run has appeared in court facing criminal nuisance charges.

Mleya appeared before Harare magistrate Ms Victoria Mashamba who granted him $200 bail and remanded him to 8 January for trial.

The court heard that Mleya connived with Chombo, Chipanga and Hamandishe to wear Zanu PF party regalia embezzled with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s initials.

They allegedly posed for photographs in that regalia despite being expelled members of the party.

Chombo, Chipanga and Hamandishe appeared in court on Friday (yesterday) facing the same charge with Mleya and were ordered to abide by the bail conditions imposed on other cases they are facing.- state media
