CSO leaders granted ZWL$1k bail

Two civil society leaders, who are facing charges of trying to subvert President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government, were yesterday released on ZWL$1 000 bail each after the Prosecutor-General’s (PG) Office consented to their freedom bid.

The director of Female Prisoners Support Trust (FPST), Beauty Rita Nyampinga, and director of Women’s Academy for Leadership and Political Excellence (WALPE), Stabile Dewa, were granted bail by High Court judge Justice Amy Tsanga, albeit under stringent bail conditions.

The two are also charged with inciting public violence.
