Veteran journalist Blessed Mhlanga’s bid for freedom hit a legal dead end as Justice Gibson Mandaza dismissed his bail appeal.
Delivering the ruling, Justice Mandaza underscored that the key issues raised were intricately tied to the trial itself, reinforcing the court’s stance on withholding bail.
“I would like to highlight that most issues are related to trial. In my view, there is a valid reason for denying bail,” ruled Justice Mandaza. After a thorough legal review, the judge found no misdirection in the initial ruling, sealing Mhlanga’s fate with a firm dismissal of the application.
