Ndebele was expected to appear in court in Bulawayo on Monday but spent the whole morning at the police Law and Order offices where he was subjected to interrogation.
Addressing journalists in Bulawayo on Monday Radio Dialogue Chairperson, Peter Zwidekalanga Khumalo, said Ndebele’s case had been moved to Tuesday.
“From 8:30 am up to 11am (on Tuesday) Ndebele was at the Law and Order Section where he was subjected to intensive interrogations. During the interrogations , the Law and Order officers wanted to know where the radios are coming from and why are they being distributed .Upon completion of the interrogation , the police added another charge of possessing radios without a listener’s licence to the warrant,” said Khumalo.
Khumalo condemned the seizure of the radios and the arrest of Ndebele.
“We believe this move is meant to suffocate the free flow of information as the country moves towards critical periods of the constitutional referendum and the elections.
“Our view is that it is important for citizens to have free access to information and be able to freely express themselves in order for them to make informed decisions during this critical period,” said Khumalo.
Police from Hillside police station raided Radio Dialogue‘s offices in Hillside last week on Friday and confiscated 180 radio sets .They also took Ndebele on the pretext that they wanted him to sign for the gadgets.
