The court yesterday the ruling on State’s application seeking to forbid Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume from visiting Town House and other council offices until his criminal matters have been solved.
Regional magistrate Mr Stanford Mambanye postponed the ruling since magistrate Mr Ngoni Nduna was not attainable to deliver the ruling.
The state led by Mr Micheal Reza made an application requesting to forbid Mafume from coming upon the Town House or any council offices until his two criminal cases are over.
Mr Reza said the state fears that Mafume would attempt to prevent a witness from giving evidence or to influence the evidence he gives.
Mafume is charged with criminal abuse of office and obstructing the course of justice.
Mafume through his lawyer advocate Tonderai Bhatasara told the court that the state was being operated by politicians to chase their interest.
