The trial of five war veterans’ leaders, accused of undermining President Robert Mugabe’s authority after they allegedly authored a communiqué calling on the Zanu PF leader to step down, is set to run between November 22 and 30 this year.
The court dropped reporting conditions for the five, Douglas Mahiya, Francis Nhando, Victor Matemadanda, Headman Moyo and Hoyini Samuel Bhila who were represented by Harrison Nkomo and Beatrice Mtetwa.
Soon after the announcement of the trial dates, the former fighters’ supporters broke into song and dance, chanting: The truth is about to come out.
