JOURNALIST Blessed Mhlanga has taken Harare magistrate Ngoni Nduna to court demanding the immediate release of fellow scribe Hopewell Chin’ono’s testimony on the state of the Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison.
Last year, Chin’ono gave testimony before Magistrate Nduna exposing the horrid living conditions at the over-crowed prison where he was being held when he was arrested for inciting public violence.
However, the testimony was done before camera with journalists and public barred from the proceedings following the state’s request on the grounds the information was sensitive and a threat to the prisons and national security.
