Chimombe, Mpofu bail bid delayed

ZANU PF central committee member and businessman Mike Chimombe yesterday appeared at Harare Magistrates Courts for bail ruling, but returned to remand prison after the matter was postponed.

Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje, who is presiding over the case of Chimombe and his co-accused Moses Mpofu, indicated that the ruling was not yet ready.

In the bail application, Chimombe indicated that he was being victimised by people with a political agenda after being implicated in a US$9,2 million tender scandal for installation of streetlights in the capital.
