Chief law officer Mirirai Shumba, who represented the NPA in the matter, consented to the release of the travel document following an application by Kadungure’s lawyer, Tazorora Musarurwa.

As part of his bail conditions, the flamboyant businessman was released on $1 000 bail and ordered to surrender his passport.
