The two suspected “witches” who caused a stir in Budiriro high density suburb early last month, after being caught semi-naked in a suspected act of witchcraft, were today released on $200 bail each by Mbare resident magistrate Reuben Mukavi.

This was after the pair’s lawyer Tawanda Takaindisa told the court that his client’s identities and their places of residence had been verified by the State.
