Gomwe's bail ruling tomorrow Beleaguered Zanu-PF Harare Province Youth Chairman, Godwin Gomwe, who is facing extortion charges remains in custody after failing to raise the US$1000 bail he was granted by the High Court.
Police Spokesperson, Senior Assistant Charity Charamba confirmed the development, saying he will tomorrow face more charges.
Gomwe, who is being charged together with other six party members, was today granted US$1000 bail by High Court judge, Justice Garainesu Mawadze.
In granting him bail, Justice Mawadze said there is no basis to refuse Gomwe bail as the state has not yet concluded its investigations.
He further said if the accused had interfered with justice before, he would have been arrested at the time.
Gomwe's bail conditions included reporting at Budiriro Police Station every Friday, not to interfere with the state witnesses, not to visit housing consortium offices or where they are carrying out development activities and to surrender his passport with the clerk of court.
Gomwe and six other Zanu-PF party officials have been accused of extortion using the First Lady, Dr Grace Mugabe's name.
The six are Muchineripi Mupindu, Fidelis Ndaradza, Haruwandi Munyawiri, Josephine Hadziendi, Norah Torongo and Humfrey Madenyika, who are expected to know their fate tomorrow.
