A continuation of the trial of popular black empowerment activist Sonny Kuzomunhu Chasi facing charges of murdering his wife, Dorcas Majola, and raping his daughter six times is set to be one of the high profile cases.

Judge president Justice George Chiweshe is expected to preside over the ceremony.

Chasi’s case was struck off the roll in October last year due to the shortage of judges that characterised the Bulawayo High Court then, before Justice Nokuthula Moyo was appointed to the bench in Bulawayo.
