Sigoge had been behind bars for almost two weeks after being sentenced to four years for attempted murder by Hwange regional magistrate for the Western Division Dambudzo Malunga. High Court judge Justice Martin Makonese upheld Sigoge’s appeal.

Sigoge was given $100 bail and ordered to stay at his Lobengula West house until the finalisation of the case.
