Jailed Binga ‘fisherman’ seeks bail

Jailed Binga businessman, Taurai Marava, who has had a long-standing battle with the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority Management (Zimparks) over fishing rigs, has instructed his lawyer to file for bail pending a review of the court proceedings.

Marava was recently jailed for four months with labour for fishing in Lake Kariba without a permit.

The incarceration came a month after Marava had taken Zimparks to the High Court, demanding damages of over $210 000 for his impounded fishing rigs.
