Zesa protestors’ trial stalls

THE trial of 23 Bulawayo activists who were arrested last month for demonstrating against Zesa for allegedly employing workers from outside the region at its Insukamini sub-station was yesterday postponed to June 10.

The trial, which had been initially scheduled for April 23, was postponed for the second time after it was first postponed to May 14.

Dumisani Dube, representing the 23, said the protestors were supposed to appear in court yesterday, but the trial was postponed to next month.
