Musengezi applies for discharge

A ZANU PF member, who challenged President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ascendancy to power following the 2017 coup, has applied for discharge at the close of the State case.

Sybeth Musengezi, who is being accused of fraudulently acquiring a Zanu PF membership card, said the State failed to make a strong case against him.

During trial, State witness Godwills Masimirembwa,  Zanu PF Harare chairperson, told the court that Musengezi forged an address and was, therefore, not a legitimate party member.
