Komichi trial in false start
Desmond Chingarande ·
The trial of MDC Alliance vice-president Morgen Komichi (pictured), who is facing charges of attempting to disrupt the announcement of the July 30 presidential election results by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec), failed to kick off yesterday after his lawyer failed to collect the court papers to prepare their defence.
Komichi, who is represented by Obey Shava, appeared before magistrate Ruramai Chitumbura, who postponed the matter to October 18.
The State represented by Michael Reza asked for postponement of the trial, saying Komichi’s lawyers failed to collect court papers for them to prepare for the matter in time.
