Mudefi and 2 Others v Chibanda and Another (145 of 2023) [2023] ZWHHC 145 (23 February 2023)

The State established a prima facie case of extortion against the applicants through testimonial and documentary evidence. The evidence was not manifestly unreliable and called for an answer from the applicants. The court a quo correctly dismissed the application for discharge at the close of the State case. There are no exceptional circumstances warranting interference with unterminated proceedings.
