Moses Mpofu, 49, and Mike Chimombe, 43, have filed an application for bail at the High Court, which is set to be heard on August 8. The duo is facing charges of defrauding the government of a substantial amount of US$7 million. Their legal team will present arguments for their release on bail as they await trial.

Mpofu and Chimombe’s case has garnered significant attention due to the large sum of money involved and the severity of the allegations. The prosecution alleges that the pair engaged in fraudulent activities, resulting in significant financial losses for the government. The details of the alleged fraud have not been fully disclosed, but the case is expected to be closely watched.

The High Court’s decision on the bail application will be crucial in determining the next steps for Mpofu and Chimombe. If granted bail, they will be released from custody pending their trial. However, if the application is denied, they will remain in custody until their case is heard. The outcome of the bail hearing on August 8 will be eagerly awaited by all parties involved.
