Mtetwa was today acquitted at the close of the State case.
Magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa, today ruled that the State, led by Tawanda Zvekare, had failed to prove a prima facie case against Mtetwa.
Mtetwa’s acquittal follows numerous court appearances since March.
Mtetwa was arrested on March 17 and charged with contravening Section 184 (1) (g) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act for allegedly defeating or obstructing the course of justice.
According to the State, Mtetwa allegedly obstructed the police from conducting a search at the house of an aide to the Prime Minster, Morgan Tsvangirai, as well as the premier’s private offices in Avondale.
The police were acting on a tip off that four MDC-T officials, Thabani Mpofu, Warship Dumba, Felix Matsinde and Mehluli Tshuma were unlawfully compiling criminal dockets in respect of prominent government officials.
A total of nine witnesses testified in the case.

Ithink the police and AG’S office were clearly negligent.
Ot is clear and she admits to being an activist, it is the law societies mandate to promote the law – if you don’t agree with it challenge it in a court of law, don’t demonstraste.
The AG.S office should clearly simply look at her local residence status, she is a foreigner bound to obey the law and respect our government, or be repatriated – don’t give the propaganda press more propaganda send her back to Swazi if they still want her.
