Court refuses to release Zaba’s passport

HARARE magistrate Tapiwa Kuhudzai has dismissed Zimbabwe Independent editor Faith Zaba’s application of alteration of bail conditions, which could have seen her passport being temporarily released in order for her to travel to Singapore for a journalism summit.

Zaba is facing a charge of undermining President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

She was recently invited to attend the Women In News (WIN) Guild Gathering and Asia Media Leaders’ Summit in Singapore after being selected among 19 women in the three regions — Africa, Arab and Southeast Asia — to represent Zimbabwe.
