THE National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) yesterday closed its case in the trial of former chief magistrate Mishrod Guvamombe, who is facing a charge of criminal abuse of office and of defeating the course of justice while at the helm of the magistrates’ court department. BY CHARLES LAITON The State wrapped up its case with former regional magistrate Hosea Mujaya, telling the court that Guvamombe acted within his mandate when he involved himself in a matter in which he is alleged to have influenced former regional magistrate Elijah Makomo to recuse himself from handling businessman Nathan Mnaba’s trial. It is the State’s case that Guvamombe forced Makomo to recuse himself from the matter, but in his testimony Makomo said he took the decision to recuse himself from handling the same, following complaints raised by both Mnaba and Nighert Savania who was the complainant. Asked by Guvamombe’s lawyer, Jonathan Samukange if accusations against Makomo were not supposed to be only handled by senior members of the magistrate’s department, Mujaya said: “Yes, he (Guvamombe) was following the normal procedure in handling the matter when he involved the deputy chief magistrate, the senior regional magistrate and his office.” There were, however, some discrepancies between Mujaya and Makomo’s evidence regarding the meetings that were held in Guvamombe’s office as he sought to address the complaints raised by both Mnaba and Savania. Makomo told High Court judge Justice Felistas Chatukuta that he held two meetings with Mujaya and Guvamombe, but Mujaya said they only had one meeting. Makomo also said complaints against him were raised by both Mnaba and Savania, but Mujaya said he only knew of Mnaba’s complaint and not that of Savania. At the closure of the State case, Samukange told the court that his client would file for acquittal and the matter was postponed sine die. In his defence, Guvamombe told the court that criminal charges levelled against him were raised by disgruntled male counterparts after his efforts to reprimand them for sexually harassing female members of staff and magistrates, did not go down well with them. l Follow us on Twitter @NewsDayZimbabwe

FORMER FC Platinum midfielder Farai Madhananga is still grounded as he awaits the issuance of a work permit for him to return to action for his South African club Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM). BY FORTUNE MBELE Madhananga (25) has remained at the Limpopo-based DStv Premier League outfit, which acquired Bidvest Wits’ franchise. He was one of the players unveiled by TTM last month after the club bought The Clever Boys’ franchise, amid concerns over players’ future following the sale of the club in June. But Madhananga is yet to kick the ball for TTM in their first four games that include the MTN8 quarter-final. He confirmed to NewsDay Sport yesterday that he was yet to get a new work permit. “I’m just waiting for my work permit to be processed, then I can start playing, but so far so good for me at TTM. I have not played for a long time and as a player, you need that game time to stay afloat,” he said. Madhananga was set to re-unite with Norman Mapeza, his former coach at FC Platinum, who pulled out of the TTM deal at the last minute a few days before his unveiling after some misunderstandings with the club leadership. After the fine performance at FC Platinum in 2018 from Harare City at the beginning of the year, Madhananga was voted among the country’s 11 best players. He attracted the attention of then Bidvest Wits’ coach Gavin Hunt (now at Kaizer Chiefs) and joined the South African side in July last year. But he did not have much game time at the Clever Boys either, where he only played five games last year and did not feature in any of the games when the Absa Premier Soccer League resumed in August after it was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fellow countryman Terrence Dzvukamanja joined giants Orlando Pirates when Bidvest Wits was sold while McClive Phiri is now at Sekhukhune United which plays in the GladAfrica Championship. Madhananga was joined at TTM by goalkeeper Washington Arubi who was offloaded by SuperSport United last month. Arubi has been holding fort between the goalposts for TTM in their last three league games, including the 2-0 loss to Moroka Swallows on Wednesday.
