Prophet Walter Magaya who has been languishing in prison has finally been released after posting bail.
Herald reports
that his legal representatives paid his bail at the Harare magistrate’s court
yesterday and surrendered the passport and title deeds to properties demanded
as extra security as contained in the order by High Court Judge Justice Gibson
Mandaza.
Upon release,
Magaya approached the High Court challenging his placement on remand by the
magistrate at the initial remand hearing last Monday even though more than 48
hours had elapsed since his arrest on Saturday last week.
Magaya argues
that the magistrates court’s failure to release him on initial appearance was a
gross violation of the Constitution, which should not be left unchallenged.
