NewzThe Supreme Court of Zimbabwe has granted jailed businessmen Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe permission to appeal their convictions, but restricted the challenge exclusively to questions of law. The ruling prevents the defendants from contesting the High Court's factual findings regarding the case.

By limiting the scope of the appeal, the Supreme Court has finalized the factual baseline established during the initial trial while allowing the legal interpretations to be scrutinized.
