The bail application was dismissed this afternoon. The trial was finalised and judgment will be handed down tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, 01 March, a 25-year-old South African national, Cuan Reed Govender was arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport for unlawful possession of ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>He was arrested by the police after they searched his baggage and found 5 live rounds of ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>Govender, whom authorities claimed was the anonymous \u201cJohn Doe\u201d, who sent a bomb\/firearm alert to FastJet alleging a plan to attack Zimbabwe\u2019s airports, particularly Victoria Falls International Airport last Friday, intended to catch an Airlink flight to South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate that X-ray scanners detected five bullets in Govender\u2019s blue bag he carried to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>He reportedly told detectives that the bag was the one he used when going to the shooting range after buying a gun to defend himself, adding that he must have forgotten to remove the bullets.<\/p>\n<p>Govender was taken to the Harare Magistrates Court on 02 March where he appeared without a lawyer before magistrate Sharon Rakafa.<\/p>\n<p>He returned to the court yesterday, 04 March, where he was fined US$300 for unlawful possession of ammunition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
