ZIMBABWE-COURT-PROTEST
Zimbabwean protest leader is freed on bail
HARARE, Sept 2, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Zimbabwean opposition politician Jacob
Ngarivhume on Wednesday was granted bail at his fourth attempt since being
detained on July 20 for calling protests against corruption and the country’s
economic crisis.
High Court judge Siyabona Musithu granted his appeal against the ruling
of a lower court that had denied him bail and said “the magistrate erred.” He
was ordered to pay 50,000 Zimbabwe dollars ($602) and surrender his passport
