Borrowdale illegal billboard: duo’s ruling set for November 28

A Harare magistrate will deliver the ruling on November 28 for an application filed by two Harare men facing charges of erecting an illegal billboard in Borrowdale with a message denigrating a rival property developer’s image.

Grant Russel and Mark Strathen had filed an application to force the State to withdraw its charges against them before plea or to remove them from remand. However, the State represented by Shambidzeni Fungura opposed the application saying the pair wanted to wriggle off the hook through the backdoor after the court dismissed their exception bid.
