Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) interim leader Jameson Timba and 78 activists will know their fate on Thursday after the High Court reserved ruling on their application for bail pending trial for gathering illegally.
Timba and his co-accused were denied bail at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts following their arrests on June 16.
They are accused of holding a political gathering that was not sanctioned by the State and had approached the High Court for relief.
Justice Munamato Mutevedzi reserved his ruling after hearing arguments from both the defence and prosecution counsel.
“This is an appeal and should not take me time to hand down the ruling,” he said.
“The registrar will call you when my judgment is ready. It should be sooner and no later than Thursday,” he said.
Timba took over as interim leader of the CCC after former leader Nelson Chamisa quit being member of the party in January.
