On Monday, the trial of a Zimbabwean journalist accused of assisting two New York Times reporters in unlawfully entering the country will resume.
A freelance reporter for the American publication, Jeffery Moyo, denies assisting them in obtaining phony media accreditation cards.
Joao Silva and Christina Goldbaum, two journalists, were deported to South Africa just days after arriving.
Mr Moyo was caught in May of last year and was sentenced in January of this year.
He might face up to ten years in prison if found guilty.
As the trial resumes in the southern city of Bulawayo, more prosecution witnesses will testify.
Mr Moyo feels he is being tried for practicing journalism after being questioned by the anti-terrorism police unit, arrested, and imprisoned without bail for three weeks. Authorities have been urged to dismiss the accusations by international media organizations.
