adminSupreme Court. The criminal defamation charges arose after Mashingaidze accused some of the national team players of visiting Rushwaya’s offices for purposes of match-fixing.
It is alleged he supplied false information to the media alleging that matches against Zimbabwe and two teams, Guinea and Mozambique, might have been “fixed” as Knowledge Musona and Ovidy Karuru had been seen coming out of Rushwaya’s business premises.
Mashingaidze through his lawyers Advocate Lewis Uriri and Mr Ralph Maganga raised constitutional issues, which he says could only be dealt with at the Supreme Court.
