MDC spokesman, Nelson Chamisa Two MDC employees, Alec Musanhiwa and Pindukai Shonhiwa who work as drivers, and two visitors, one identified as Tichareva Musama, were arrested in the morning. Some of our guys who man the office have been taken by the police, including some of our drivers who are always at the office for party duties. We are still to ascertain the reason why they have been arrested, Chamisa told SW Radio Africa.
What we do understand was that there was some kind of skirmish yesterday between the police and some people whom we have not ascertained their identity. But we reasonably believe and suspect that could be the reason why they (police) have also acted in such a manner. We are still to get the facts, Chamisa added.
Party lawyers have been deployed to find out the reason for the arrest. By late Thursday afternoon, no charges had been placed on those arrested and detained at Harare Central police station. Chamisa meanwhile said he had no idea what the uniformed and plain clothes policemen who came to their offices wanted. This thing will never happen at the ZANU PF headquarters. Its only at Harvest House that our colleagues in the police force are always pitted against us.
