State delays trial of Blessed Mhlanga

THE State has failed to provide a trial date for Heart & Soul TV senior journalist Blessed Mhlanga, indicating that the investigating officer did not attach witness statements to the docket.

Mhlanga yesterday appeared before Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo, who remanded the matter to April 30 for the provision of a trial date.

In the application for postponement, prosecutor Takudzwa Jambawu said witness statements from the investigating officer had not been attached to the docket.
