MUTEVEDZI J: This is an appeal against the decision of the Magistrates’ Court sitting at Harare refusing all the seventy- four (74) appellants admission to bail. The decision was delivered on 27 June 2024. The demographics of the appellants is interesting. They were not a random assembly. Instead, they hail from different but clearly defined clusters predominantly the suburbs of Chitungwiza, Epworth and Hatcliffe which account for almost three quarters of the appellants. Equally noteworthy is the fact that fifty-seven of the appellants are not formally employed and that over sixty of them are aged below forty years. They are of the same political persuasion having all admitted their affiliation to a political outfit called the CCC. The appellants made a combined bail application in the court a quo. In their appeal in this court, which again was prosecuted as one, they raised several grounds of appeal to which I will advert later in the judgment.
