:The trial of business partners Moses Mpofu and Mike Chimombe has been postponed once more after it was revealed that Chimombe is too ill to stand trial. Although Chimombe initially missed court due to health reasons, he was later brought in after Judge Justice Pisirayi Kwenda ordered the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services to ensure his attendance. However, due to his illness, the trial has been rescheduled to March 17. The trial, which was originally planned for October last year, has faced numerous delays due to various defense applications. Mpofu and Chimombe are accused of defrauding the government of seven million US dollars in relation to the failed Presidential Goat Pass-on Scheme.
