September 17, 2010

Bulawayo Magistrate Ntombizodwa Mazhandu on Friday 17 September, 2010 deferred her ruling on an application filed by lawyers representing visual artist Owen Maseko seeking a referral of his matter to the Supreme Court to determine whether or not criminalising creative arts infringes on freedom of expression and freedom of conscience to Saturday 18 September, 2010.

The Magistrate who was supposed to hand down her ruling on Friday 17 September, 2010 at 16:00 hrs said she could not do so as she had not finished drafting her ruling.

Magistrate Mazhandu will now deliver her ruling on Saturday 18 September, 2010 at 10:00 hrs at the Bulawayo Magistrates Court sitting at Tredgold building.
