Amalgamated Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure was granted bail by the High Court yesterday.
As part of his bail conditions, Masaraure was ordered to pay ZWL$60 000, report to the police once every week, and surrender his passport.
He was arrested on 14 June and charged with murder from an incident that occurred at the Jameson Hotel in Harare in 2016.
The murder accusation against the ARTUZ president is of a youth activist, Roy Issa, who fell to his death from a seventh-floor window while drinking with friends, including Masaraure.
Masaraure was arrested after going to the Harare Central Police Station as part of his bail reporting conditions in a separate matter in which he is accused of participating in an illegal protest.
