Court rejects State bid to block Mundubile and Zulu bail hearing
The Lusaka High Court ruled the bail application of opposition leaders Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu and 16 others must now be heard on its merits.
The Lusaka High Court has dismissed the State's attempt to block the constitutional bail application of opposition leaders Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu, along with 16 others. The court found the matter is properly before it and must now be heard on its merits.
The ruling removes a procedural barrier that had stood in the way of the application. The bail bid is being brought by two senior opposition figures and their co-accused.
The hearing can now proceed, with the court set to consider the substance of the constitutional bail application.
