Cynthia Manjoro, one of the eight MDC-T activists who are facing charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View, Harare in May was granted bail at the High Court this afternoon. Justice Samuel Kudya denied bail to the other seven saying they are still a flight risk as there are no changed circumstances from their initial bail application last month.
However, Justice Kudya conceded that there are changed circumstances in Manjoro's fresh bail application and she was granted a US$500 bail with stringent reporting conditions.
Those who remain in custody are; Councillor Tungamirai Madzokere of Ward 32 Glen View, brothers Lazarus and Stanford Maengahama, Phineas Nhatarikwa, Stanford Mangwiro, Yvonne Musarurwa and Rebecca Mafikeni.
They are part of 24 other MDC-T activists who are facing the same charges. MDC-T is claiming that the police officer was murdered by unknown revellers at a night club in Glen View. The other 16 members were granted bail in July.
