Three MDC Matebeleland North provincial chairperson, Sengezo Tshabangu, his deputy Abednico Bhebhe and Hwange Central MP, Hon. Brian Tshuma were yesterday detained at Hwange Police Station for over 10 hours.
The three who were driving in two cars were stopped at a roadblock and the police officers manning the roadblock said they wanted to verify with the Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) whether the vehicles were not stolen. The officials were on their way to a provincial meeting which had to be cancelled due to the detention.
What surprised us was that the police officers manning the roadblock had names of people who had to be stopped and searched. We stayed there late into the night and when we contacted the CVR, they said the police had never phoned them on such a matter and we knew it was a set up, said Tshabangu.
Meanwhile, In Midlands North province, a Kwekwe Magistrate today postponed to May 24 the trial of the MDC provincial chairperson and Gokwe Kabuyuni MP, Hon. Costin Muguti, Zhombe MP, Hon. Rodgers Tazviona and four other MDC activists. The MDC members are facing trumped up charges of threatening to assault Chief Samuel Samambwa of Zhombe.
In Bulawayo thenba an mdc activist was on Tuesday picked up by suspected ZANU PF thugs. His brother said six unidentified people came and tpicked homim at their pumula south home and he has not yet returned. I fear that my young brother would not return or he will be killed or injured for supporting a party of his choice,he said.
Together, united, winning, the people’s covenant to real change!!!
