OUSTED Former war veterans' leader Jabulani Sibanda, on Friday appeared
in court before magistrate Milton Serima for his routine remand and was
given a longer remand period pending determination of his application at
the Constitutional Court.
Sibanda is accused of insulting Mugabe, when he said President Mugabe and First Lady Grace Mugabe were plotting a "bedroom coup" to remove the then Vice-President Joice Mujuru.
He was given a longer remand period to May 29 after the State told the court that they were still waiting for the outcome of his application at the Constitutional Court.
Sibanda successfully made an application for relaxation of his bail conditions particularly reporting conditions from reporting once a week to reporting once a fortnight.
Sibanda is being accused of contravening section 33 (2) (b) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act Chapter 9:23.
