Harare Magistrate Taurai Manuwere has postponed the case of opposition Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) members Johanna Mamombe and Cecelia Chimbiri case to Monday 12 September 2022 after the State applied for a postponement due to absence of trial magistrate.
Deputy prosecutor general Michael Reza made the application for the postponement after trial magistrate in the matter Faith Mushure was not available on Friday 9 September 2022.
Efforts by defence lawyer Alec Muchadehama to have another date due to prior commitments failed after Reza assured the court that the case would be given priority on Monday.
Magistrate Manuwere granted Reza his wish on the grounds that the assurance was “reasonable”.
