Ncube released on summons

MDC-N MP for Insiza South, Siyabonga Ncube, who was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly infecting a Bulawayo female journalist with HIV and insulting her in a text message, was Wednesday released on summons to appear in court today (Thursday).

Ncube was summoned at 4pm Wednesday after spending the whole day at court when the prosecution was still deciding his fate and will be appearing in court on the charge of sending offensive messages to the scribe.

On the other count of infecting her with HIV, the State is said to be still consulting on the allegations and will decide whether to prosecute him or not as the matter was said to be riddled with a lot of loopholes which however NewsDay could not establish by Wednesday.
