Neville Mutsvangwa, son of Zanu PF spokesman Chris Mutsvangwa and Monica Mutsvangwa, Minister of Women’s Affairs, has been detained on charges related to currency trading since May 8.
He is set to remain in remand prison for a few additional days as the High Court has postponed its decision on his bail application until May 27.
According to reports from ZIMLIVE, Justice Esther Muremba stated that she has not yet received the typed record of proceedings from the lower court, where Neville Mutsvangwa’s bail request was initially denied.
This delay is attributed to the National Prosecuting Authority’s tardiness in providing the record.
Sande, representing Neville, argued that Neville is a suitable candidate for bail despite being denied it by the magistrate court.
She contended that mere possession of Visa cards, the alleged offense for which Neville is being charged, does not inherently signify illicit activity nor does it serve as evidence of involvement in cash transactions or money laundering. Sande stressed that bank cards are the property of the issuing bank, which maintains the prerogative to disclose transactional details.
