Herald Reporter
The High Court today granted bail to jazz musician Duduzile Tracey Manhenga pending appeal of her sentence over culpable homicide.

Justice Felistus Chatukuta granted Manhenga US$200 bail coupled with stringent conditions after the State consented to bail.  She was ordered to surrender her travel documents, reside at the given address until the matter is finalised.

She is also required to report once a week to Avondale police station. Manhenga was sentenced to a 24-month jail term by the Harare Magistrate’s Court but six months were set aside for five years on condition that she does not commit a similar offence.

The Colour Blu crooner was also fined US$300 (or three months in prison) for driving without supervision.  An additional six-month jail term was wholly suspended on condition that she does not drive without supervision for the next five years.
