Illegal billboard matter postponed

Herald Correspondent

The trial of two company directors accused of erecting an illegal billboard in Borrowdale denigrating a property development company was postponed due to the unavailability of the duo’s lawyers, who were said to be engaged at the High Court.


This prompted the presiding magistrate to postpone the trial to October 30.

Mark Strathen of Paragon Printers and Grant Russell of Fairclot Investments, who are facing criminal nuisance charges, are being represented by Gwinyai Mharapara and Tafara Danana.

The pair had their latest application of exception dismissed by the presiding magistrate Ms Sharon Rakafa.

The matter has been on the roll since 2021 owing to several postponements caused by the accused persons.

State prosecutor Shambadzeni Fungura accused the duo of using delaying tactics to derail the trial.
