Magistrate Grants Temporary Release Of Ginimbi's Passport

Harare magistrate, Babra Mateko, granted businessman and socialite, Genius Kadungure, the temporary release of his passport following a successful application.

The magistrate also relaxed his bail conditions until May 11 when he is expected to bring back the passport to the clerk of court. The magistrate said:

The accused is hereby granted temporary release of his passport. Reporting conditions have also been relaxed and he is ordered to bring back the passport on May 11.

This is the second time Kadungure has been granted his passport following his arrest over tax evasion. Kadungure was once given his passport to allow him to travel to Dubai on a business mission. The state, however, opposed his second attempt arguing that he was a flight risk.

Ginimbi, as Kadungure is famously known, is facing allegations of tax evasion. The evasion is believed to have costed the government about RTGS$3,5 million.
