Matabeleland South MDC-T youth chairman Morgan Ncube, who was arrested two weeks ago accused of describing President Robert Mugabe as "a baboon", has been released on bail.
Ncube was granted $50 bail and he was remanded to July 6 when he appeared before Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Misheck Cheda last week.
State allegations are that Ncube labelled Mugabe "a baboon" during his address at an MDC-T rally in Plumtree.
It is an offence under Zimbabwe's laws to undermine or insult Mugabe who has ruled since the country's independence from Britain in 1980.
