Court dismisses billboard duo application

BY DESMOND CHINGARANDE
HARARE magistrate Shane Kubonera has dismissed an application for exception in a case where two Harare men are accused of erecting an illegal billboard which discouraged people from buying some land in Borrowdale.

Grant Russell and Mark Strathen, who are represented by Tendai Biti, filed the application saying the facts of the charges they were facing did not disclose an offence.

But Kubonera dismissed the application on the basis that the submissions by the accused were triable.
