Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers charged Mahiya, the Director of Heal Zimbabwe Trust withsubverting a constitutional government as defined in section 22 of the Criminal Law (Codification andReform) Act.
Mahiya reported at Harare Central Police Station accompanied by his lawyer Tonderai Bhatasara of

ZRP officers claimed that Mahiya organised some meetings in Harare between 3 to 6 December 2018 with the aim of toppling President Mnangagwa’s administration from power.
Mahiya, who is detained at Harare Central Police Station, is expected to appear at Harare Magistrates Court on Tuesday 26 February 2019.
