The ruling on Harare businessman Mike Chimombe’s application challenging placement on remand on fresh charges involving a US$9,2 million Harare City Council street lights tender has been deferred to a Monday.
Presiding magistrate Mr Stanford Mambanje postponed the matter saying the ruling was not yet ready due to power challenges.
Chimombe was jointly accused with Moses Mpofu who allegedly submitted forged documents as Juluka Ennd Joint Venture company when he made his bid for the City of Harare tender.
In the application, Chimombe’s lawyer Ashel Mugiya argued that Chimombe had no links with the company and the State did not clarify how they are linking him to the charges.
