Dudu Manhenga granted bail

The High Court has granted bail to jazz singer Dudu Manhenga pending an appeal against her conviction over culpable homicide.

The 33-year-old musician was sentenced to 18 months two weeks ago on her own plea of guilty for knocking down and killing motorcyclist Graham Martin Millward three years ago.

The court heard that Manhenga only had a learner's licence when she crashed into Millward's motorcycle along Sherwood Drive in Harare's Mabelreign suburb in 2010.

Manhenga is said to have failed to give way to Millward as she turned right into the driveway of a residential property in her Toyota Spacio vehicle.

Millward suffered serious injuries which led to his death upon admission at West End Hospital.
