Ngarivhume’s defence team led by Lovemore Madhuku said they are going to appeal both the sentence and conviction at the High Court. He said: > We have been given instructions to file an appeal… so we are filing an appeal on Tuesday and we are also applying for bail pending appeal. > So we expect our client to be out and be a free person in a week or so. We believe that the High Court will certainly not uphold the conviction. > That’s our belief, we are very confident about that and there is everything wrong with the conviction. > Even if the High Court upholds the conviction, we also believe the sentence of 36 months effective is outrageous by any calculation… > You cannot send a political leader to prison for three years for merely tweeting what you consider to be incitement. > Of course, a message must be sent out but this particular sentence is completely outrageous. The charges against Ngarivhume emanated from a July 2020 tweet in which he called for a national shutdown in protest over poor leadership by the ZANU PF-led government.
