State withdraws espionage charges against trio
Tendai Rupapa Court Reporter
THE State yesterday withdrew espionage charges before plea against three businessmen who were accused of selling state secrets to enemies of the State.
The three Africom directors – Farai Rwodzi, Simba Mangwende and Oliver Chiku – will, however, go on trial on the charge of flouting the Post and Telecommunications Act, after they illegally installed satellite equipment.
The Act criminalises the possession or operating a communication network without permission from the regulating authority.
Harare provincial magistrate Mr Munamato Mutevedzi remanded the three to January 18 next year for trial after the State indicated that investigations on the remaining charge were complete.
Although the State dropped the espionage charge before plea, it can still proceed by way of summons should it find substantial evidence against the three.
President meets Acting Chinese President
From Itai Musengeyi in BEIJING, China
PRESIDENT Mugabe yesterday met Acting Chinese President Xi Jinping and senior banking officials and requested assistance to provide farmers with inputs and equipment.
The Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, who arrived here on Tuesday night from Hong Kong, is on an official visit to seek support from Chinese political and business leaders.
Zimbabwe is facing sanctions-induced difficulties that have seen the country experiencing challenges in mobilising funds to support farmers and finance essential programmes.
President Mugabe held an hour-long closed-door meeting with Mr Xi at the Great People’s Hall, the Chinese government seat.
His spokesman Mr George Charamba said the President told Mr Xi that Zimbabwe needed urgent help to fund the farming season and was also seeking co-operation in the aviation industry.
