Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwean businessman Frank Buyanga Sadiqi, who was arrested last Thursday in South Africa, was this week remanded in custody to Tuesday next week for his bail hearing.<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old was arrested on allegations of kidnapping his son in Harare in 2020 and on charges of contempt of court.<\/p>\n

Buyanga appeared before the Randburg Magistrate\u2019s Court on Thursday.<\/p>\n

However, his arrest warrant was cancelled on Monday at the Harare Magistrates court after magistrate Judith Taruvinga said that she had issued the warrant of arrest erroneously.<\/p>\n

The South African lawyer representing Buyanga, Laurence Hodes SC, on Thursday called for a speedy bail hearing for his client, saying Buyanga was entitled to bail.<\/p>\n

Hodes added that the warrant Interpol executed to arrest Buyanga on 10 November had been cancelled in Zimbabwe. He said:<\/p>\n

His continued incarceration is unlawful. We have an authentic court order from Zimbabwe, showing the cancellation of his warrant of arrest.<\/p>\n

… We have attached his proof of visa permits to our affidavit. These would assist in showing he is not a flight risk and is entitled to bail. The accused is applying to have custody of his child in South Africa.<\/p>\n

There is [a court] order in Zimbabwe that his child is in his custody. The High Court in Johannesburg is determining which parent would be given custody of his 8-year-old son.<\/p>\n

There is no basis to detain him. He was arrested at the address we had submitted. I am ready to proceed with the bail application.<\/p>\n

Should the State decide to proceed with the bail [application], we are ready. If there is no warrant, he should be released.<\/p>\n

The chief magistrate in Zimbabwe sent an email to the Director of Public Prosecutions in SA that the warrant has been cancelled.<\/p>\n

The only document that gives this court jurisdiction to hear the matter is a warrant of arrest.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Advocate Rutondo Phungo argued that the State had to authenticate the documents they had received from the defence before the bail application could begin.<\/p>\n

The matter was postponed to November 22 for verification of the Zimbabwean court order and other documents.<\/p>\n
