THE trial of gospel musician Ivy Kombo and her husband Admire Kasi failed to resume yesterday because of the absence of one of the defence lawyers and High Court judge, Justice Sylvia Chirawu-Mugomba.
The couple are accused of fraudulently acquiring conversion certificates without writing examinations to practice law in Zimbabwe.
They are being jointly charged with suspended Council for Legal Education director Huggins Hardwork Duri.
The trial is expected to continue with the State leading Justice Chirawu-Mugomba in the witness stand on June 18.
Her testimony might mark the end of the State’s case.
Justice Chirawu-Mugomba is the chairperson of CLE who is alleged to have written a letter authorising the couple to be exempted from writing the conversion examinations which consist of eight subjects.
