Mike Chimombe MissingMike Chimombe has eventually been found inside a court room sleeping right there in the dock.
His case has been adjourned to 17 March 2025The High Court has once again postponed the trial of business partners Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe after it was revealed that Chimombe is too ill to stand trial. Chimombe had initially failed to appear
in court, citing health issues, but was later brought in after presiding Judge Justice Pisirayi Kwenda ordered the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services to ensure his presence. He eventually appeared in the afternoon, leading the judge to reschedule the trial for March 17.
The trial, which was initially set to begin in October last year, has faced multiple delays due to various applications from the defense. Mpofu and Chimombe are facing charges of defrauding the government of seven million United States dollars in connection with the failed Presidential Goat Pass-on Scheme.
