Kamambo put on his defence, re-engages Rubaya

The presiding magistrate turned down suspended Zimbabwe Football Association president Felton Kamambo’s attempt to have his trial on postponed again last Friday.

Resumption of the trial had been postponed five times on the grounds that his lawyer was unavailable because of some other commitments.

Magistrate Ms Bianca Makwande ruled that Kamambo’s trial continues and put him on his defence.

This was after prosecutor Mr Michael Reza submitted that Kamambo’s excuse of not having a lawyer had worn thin and Kamambo should engage a new lawyer or revoke his right to one.

The magistrate’s led Kamambo to immediately re-engage his former lawyer Mr Admire Rubaya.

Kamambo is facing 32 count of bribery in his quest to the ZIFA presidency.

Earlier this year, in March High Court judge Justice Benjamin Chikowero, with the concurrence of Justice Pisirayi Kwenda, dismissed Kamambo’s appeal for a review of the judgment of the magistrates’ court dismissing an application for discharge at the close of the case for the prosecution.
