Harare magistrate Mr Stanford Mambanje has dismissed Harare businessman Mike Chimombe’s application challenging his placement on remand on fresh charges involving a US$9,2 million Harare City Council street lights tender.
In his ruling, Mr Mambanje said the State proved beyond reasonable doubt that Chimombe was involved in the case as he signed the contract as a witness.
Chimombe was jointly accused with Moses Mpofu who allegedly submitted forged documents through Juluka Ennd Joint Venture when he made his bid for the City of Harare tender.
In the application, Chimombe’s lawyer Ashel Mugiya had argued that Chimombe was not linked to Mpofu’s company.
