24 Jan 2013 at 04:06hrs | Views
An employee of a freight company told the court that a transporter hired to deliver water treatment chemicals from Forbes Border Post mistakenly transposed labels, leading to the delivery of a toxic chemical, sodium cyanide, to Harare's main water purification plant.
Felix Nyaruwanga of Freight World made the disclosure while giving evidence at the Harare Magistrates' Court in the ongoing trial of four men charged with contravening sections of the Water and Environmental Management Acts.
Nyaruwanga dismissed the State's conspiracy claims under cross examination by the accused's lawyer Nicholas Chikono, saying he had told the police detectives that the mix-up was a genuine human error.
