Muringazuva, who was being accused of illegally
facilitating the entry of eight Pakistani nationals into the country with the
intention of trafficking them to South Africa, is now a free man. The
prosecution decided that the allegations couldn’t be sustained in court.
Witnesses, who were set to testify against the legislator,
refused to do so and were deported to their home country.
In his initial defence, upon placement on remand,
Muringazuva distanced himself from the accusations, arguing that it was a
scheme by his political rivals in the pre-election period.
It was alleged that in January, Muringazuva assisted the
Pakistani nationals to illegally enter Zimbabwe, through the Robert Gabriel
Mugabe International Airport.
The Pakistanis were said to have fraudulently acquired
Zimbabwe holiday visas and produced immigration forms indicating that
Muringazuva was their host.
It was also alleged that while in the country, Muringazuva
facilitated their transportation from the airport and harboured them at his
house in Mabelreign. H Metro
