The respite came after the Bank told the court that the two parties were working on an out of court settlement. Trust Bank lawyer, Romeo Chatereza, told High Court judge Justice Edith Mushore,
My lady, the parties are close to reaching an agreement on how the matter will be settled and I have instructions to seek postponement of the matter to July 18, 2018.
