Zimbabwe: Rushwaya Bail Appeal Delayed
10 December 2020
By Fidelis Munyoro
THE High Court yesterday adjourned to tomorrow the hearing of Henrietta Rushwaya s appeal for bail on charges of attempting to smuggle gold to Dubai after four gold bars weighing 6kg were found in her baggage.
She was preparing to board a plane at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in October when she was arrested.
Since then, she has been in custody battling to get bail pending trial. After being denied bail at the Harare Magistrates Court, Rushwaya appealed to the High Court.
Justice Benjamin Chikowero moved the hearing to tomorrow after the defence counsel Mr Tapson Dzvetero of Antonio and Dzvetero Legal Practitioners made his submissions to convince the court to allow the appeal.
