AN inquest into the stampede which left 11 people dead last year at the Walter Magaya led Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) all-night prayer in Kwekwe is set to resume on Wednesday after it was postponed a fortnight ago.
Kwekwe magistrate, Taurai Manwere, had postponed the matter after area prosecutor, Salome Maunganidze fell sick on February 10.
The case opened on January 28 with police and council blaming PHD ministries for the stampede that killed 11 people.
