Harare regional magistrate Mrs Feresi Chakanyuka made the
ruling while dismissing Ngarivhume’s application for discharge at the close of
the State case.
Ngarivhume, through lawyer Professor Lovemore Madhuku, had
applied for discharge arguing that the State had failed to show evidence
through its witnesses that warranted him to be put to his defence case.
The court, however, ruled that the State witnesses’
eviidence called for Ngarivhume to explain
why his picture was on the Twitter handle.
Mrs Chakanyuka also ruled that Ngarivhume should give
reasons as to why the tweet was laden with political messages, which is consistent with his
career.
Ngarivhume is expected back in court on April 3 for his
defence. Herald
