Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe will spend their second consecutive weekend in remand prison after the presiding magistrate, Marewanazvo Gofa, failed to appear due to illness, reported NewZimbabwe.com<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The two men have been languishing in remand prison following their arrest last week for the alleged misappropriation of US$7 million from the Presidential Goat Scheme funds.<\/p>\n

Their bail hearing has been postponed for the second time this week because Magistrate Gofa is unwell.<\/p>\n

The hearing has been rescheduled for Monday, with the hope that Gofa will have recovered by then.<\/p>\n

During the previous court proceedings, the second investigating officer in the case, Henry Chapwanya, was on the witness stand.Pindula is best experienced in the Android App<\/p>\n

Chapwanya opposed the defendants\u2019 bail, arguing that Mpofu and Chimombe had provided false addresses, making them flight risks.<\/p>\n

He also said that the two individuals held valid Chinese visas and had the financial means to sustain themselves in foreign countries.<\/p>\n

Chimombe and Mpofu\u2019s arrest came after they accused ZANU PF donor and President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s associate Wicknell Chivayo of fraudulently changing their contract with South African company Ren-Form and Better Brands to supply voting material to ZEC in the run-up to the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

They are also suspected of leaking Wicknell Chivayo\u2019s voice notes. In these recordings, Chivayo appeared to implicate several high-ranking government officials in an alleged fraudulent scheme related to the US$40 million ZEC tender.<\/p>\n
