Ngarivhume appeal deferred to tomorrow

THE High Court will tomorrow hear an appeal by Transform Zimbabwe‘s Jacob Ngarivhume who is challenging his conviction and sentence for plotting anti-government protests.

The appeal was initially to be heard yesterday, but the court moved the hearing to tomorrow after the parties met Justices Benjamin Chikowero and Pisirayi Kwenda, the appeal judges, in chambers.

Ngarivhume is appealing against his conviction and sentence accusing magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka of failing to observe crucial elements exonerating him.
