No joy for Chimombe,Mpofu

ZANU PF central committee member Mike Chimombe and his business partner Moses Mpofu have been denied bail for the upteenth in a matter where they are facing charges of using forged documents to win a street lighting tender in Harare.

In his ruling on Thursday, Harare regional magistrate Stanford Mambanje said the State had proved beyond doubt that the accused could easily skip bail and leave comfortably outside the country considering their vast business empire.

Mambanje ruled that  the evidence from the defence  was without  proof that the two did not misrepresent using false documents.
