Suspended Prosecutor-General (PG) Johannes Tomana, who is facing six charges of criminal abuse of office, is now set to be tried at the High Court. Tomana’s trial was supposed to kick off on August 29 this year, but was postponed to October 4 after the State notified the court that it had not furnished the defence with relevant court papers in time for Tomana to prepare his defence.

Following the new developments, Tomana abandoned his application for refusal of further remand and consented to the postponement. Tomana’s reporting conditions were scrapped after his lawyer, Tazorora Musarurwa, made an application before magistrate Vakai Chikwekwe.

Allegations against Tomana stem from 2004, when the then chief executive of the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco), Bright Matonga, was charged with culpable homicide arising from an accident which claimed the life of a pedestrian, Chipo Chikowore. It is alleged Tomana ordered the State to withdraw the charges against Matonga.
