MDC Alliancemember and activist Makomborero Haruzivishe has been granted a ZWL$10 000 bail by the High Court.

He was being represented by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) and his lawyer, Mr Ncube.

Justice Chinamora granted Makomborero’s application for bail pending determination of his appeal against both conviction and sentence on charges of inciting public violence and resisting arrest by the police.

His lawyers Kossam Ncube and Obey Shava filed an appeal against both conviction and sentence arguing that Magistrate Taruvinga grossly erred in convicting him.

The appeal is yet to be heard and determined.

Makomborero has been in prison since April serving a 14-month jail term after being convicted of inciting public violence after he had demonstrated with colleagues demanding the release of ZINASU president Takudzwa Ngadziore.
