Mhlanga Appeals Bail Denial At High Court

Alpha Media Holdings senior journalist Blessed Mhlanga has filed an appeal at the High Court, challenging the magistrate’s decision to deny him bail.

Mhlanga has been locked up in remand prison for close to two weeks on allegations of transmitting information that incites violence.

Mhlanga’s arrest followed interviews he allegedly conducted with Blessed Geza, a war veteran who is currently being sought by the police to answer to charges of incitement, undermining the authority of the President, and theft.

In denying Mhlanga bail, Magistrate Farai Gwitima ruled that the journalist was likely to interfere with witnesses who are his subordinates.

The magistrate also cited the potential for Mhlanga’s release to spark unrest in Zimbabwe.

Through his lawyer, Chris Mhike, Mhlanga has now appealed the magistrate’s decision at the High Court, arguing that Gwitima was wrong in denying him bail.

The journalist’s incarceration comes amid concerns over press freedom and the treatment of media practitioners in the country.

In a statement released on Friday, March 7, the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) confirmed that an appeal for bail has been filed on behalf of Mhlanga at the High Court. ZLHR said:

We have amplified our efforts to secure freedom for Mhlanga by filing an appeal at High Court against Harare Magistrate Farai Gwitima’s decision to deny bail to the senior journalist.

In the appeal, our lawyer Chris Mhike, argued that Magistrate Gwitima grossly erred and misdirected himself in denying bail to Mhlanga late last month as there were no compelling reasons to justify Mhlanga’s continued incarceration.

Reminds me of school there were those boys rairohwa nema teacher sterek just to set an example to others. Kupolitics hakumihwe mihwe, i know its his job but i followed his x-twitter posts and yes he's a bit talkative. According to the Bible in the book of Ecclesiastes it says don't insult your king because he has authority to lock you up.

I am worried about the silence about Geza. The guy could have been killed, the Dzamara way.

Sure. ZRP yakabva yanyarara kuti zii about Geza. Vobva vatanga kumhanyisa soft target. Job paakanzi ari mu hiding, zrp yakaramba ichitsvaga. I don't see such a similar effort from ZEDRP
