Katsimberis fraud trial given a week on roll

THE fraud trial of property developer George Katsimberis who is accused of fraud involving US$1 million has been put on a continuous roll from December 11 to 15 after his lawyer was granted leave to mourn Midlands State University former  vice- chancellor Ngwabi Bhebhe.

Advocate Tinomudaishe Chinyoka on Monday told the court that he was unable to continue with the trial this week as he was attending Bhebhe’s funeral.

He said he will later travel to South Africa for medication.
