MDC Alliance lawyer, Advocate Thabani Mpofu’s trial date was set for February 10 next year when he appeared at Harare Magistrates Court yesterday.
Advocate Mpofu who is currently out on bail has appeared before magistrate Trynos Wutawashe on charges of obstructing the course of justice charges.
Allegations against him are that he drafted an affidavit on behalf of Simbarashe Zuze, who is said not to exist, and falsified that it had been sworn before Choice Daniso, then filed it at the Constitutional Court in a matter challenging the appointment of Prosecutor General Kumbirai Hodzi.
He is further alleged to have filed a second ConCourt application upon realising that the first application had failed, containing duplicate information from that contained in the affidavit of Zuze in a bid to stop enquiry into the existence of Simbarashe Zuze, thereby defeating judicial proceedings.
Advocate Mpofu’s lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa said the claimed not to exist, Zuze has been going to police several times to prove his existence and samples of his signature has been taken severally
