MLF pair released on bail

Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Nicholas Ndou on Thursday upheld an earlier bail ruling on two of the detained Mthwakazi Liberation Front (MLF) leaders facing treason charges.

The two, John Gazi and Charles Thomas, were immediately released on $2 000 bail but Paul Siwela was not so lucky after the state was given the green light to appeal against his granting of bail at the Supreme Court.

“Accordingly, leave of appeal is refused against first (Thomas) and second (Gazi) respondents and granted on the third respondent (Siwela),” ruled Ndou in a judgment read on his behalf by Justice Nicholas Mathonsi.
