Today Judge Buhnu was supposed to hand down judgement on Hon Bennetts case at 10 am. The Judge only graced the Court with his presence one and a half hours later at 1130am, to say it would be postponed to May and was about to leave the court, when the defence council Ms Mtetwa requested that bail conditions on Hon Bennett be removed i.e. his passport returned to him and his requirements to report twice weekly to the Police be lifted. The State disagreed. However the Judge ruled that Hon Bennett would no longer have to report to the Police station and if he wanted to travel outside the country he could request in writing for his passport to be released.
