*Court Dismisses Border Jumping Charges Against Tendai Biti's Aides* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?uk Karoi magistrate, Sam Chitumwa has cleared MDC vice-president Tendai Biti’s three aides who were being accused of border jumping. Biti’s lawyer Nqobizitha Mahole Mlilo and his two aides, Clever Rambanepasi and Tawanda Blessing Chitekwe, had been on trial on charges of failing to present themselves to an immigration official as defined in the Immigration Act. Chitumwa on Friday, however, found Mlilo, Rambanepasi, and Chitekwe not guilty noting that the state did not present compelling evidence against the trio. Mlilo, Rambanepasi and Chitekwe were arrested together with Biti and charged on August 8, 2018, for failing to present themselves to the immigration authorities both on the Zimbabwean and Zambian borders. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- The trio denied the charge arguing that asylum seekers are not expected to present themselves to the immigration officers. The Magistrate ruled that in the absence of evidence by the State supporting its argument that the trio was not seeking asylum, there was no basis to put them to their defence.
