HWANGE: Victoria Falls Town Clerk Ronnie Dube who is facing charges of criminal abuse of office will spend the weekend in remand prison after Hwange magistrate Gladmore Mushove postponed bail ruling to Monday.
Dube (54) was arrested by officers from the joint police Anti-Corruption Unit and Special Anti-Corruption Unit in the President’s Office Wednesday in Victoria Falls before being taken to court in Hwange.
He applied for bail through his lawyer Matshobana Ncube assisted by Nomusa Khumalo challenging unlawful arrest and detention Thursday before the magistrate ruled that he had a case to answer.
Ncube said his client was a good candidate for bail and accused the state of failing to give concrete reasons on why Dube should not be granted bail.
