Court reprieve… Madzibaba Ishmael Chokurongerwa was arrested on child abuse charges and illegal burials at shrine, has been granted bail
HARARE – Apostolic sect leader, Ishmael Chokurengerwa is finally out of custody after he was granted US$1,000 bail by the High Court.
This follows a successful appeal filed by the cult leader after his request was turned down by Norton magistrate, Christine Nyandoro who ruled he was highly likely to interfere with witnesses given his big influence within his church.
As part of his bail conditions, Chokurengerwa was barred from conducting any church gatherings.
“The court ruled that there was no longer any risk of interference with witnesses,” said the National Prosecuting Authority.
Chokurengerwa was also ordered to reside at his given address until the matter is finalised.
