Justice Walia dismisses Munhumutapa appeal

Munhumutapa appealed to the High Court, seeking an order to set aside NBB's decision to revoke their licence.

The company was praying to court to grant an order extending the commencement date to 1 November 2010 as well as ordering NBB to bear the costs of the matter. NBB revoked Munhumtapa's licence after the company failed to commence broadcasting on a number of occasions. They were first issued with a licence in 2007 and the commencement date of the broadcasting service was to be no later than six months. But since then Munhumutapa has been making applications for extensions to the commencement date.
