Hon. Mangoma is facing frivolous charges of insulting Robert Mugabe at Munhenga Business Centre in Bindura in May.
He was served with summons at his government offices on 10 October to appear in court in Bindura today. The delay by the State in filing its papers forced the trial magistrate, Felix Mawadze to postpone the matter to 12 December.
Selby Hwacha is representing Hon. Mangoma while Emmanuel Muchenga is appearing for the State.
Hon. Mangoma has maintained his innocence and with the support of the party he is convinced that the arrest is nothing but political.
“There are some people who do not like the MDC’s commitment in government to transform the country so that people can enjoy their liberty, freedom and corruption free environment,” Hon. Mangoma said soon after his arrest last month.
“We should not short change the people of Zimbabwe but ensure that we stand for the downtrodden, but it is sad that some people are against this,” he said.
