Former Secretary for Mines and Mining Development Mr Francis Gudyanga's application for the temporary release of his passport was yesterday granted by Harare magistrate Mr Hosiah Mujaya.
Gudyanga, through his lawyer Mr Tafadzwa Muvhami, successfully applied for the temporary release of his passport from October 29 to November 19.
Mr Muvhami said Gudyanga needed to attend the Zimbabwe Academy of Science Conference set for Benin in November.
