CHIBAYA REMANDED IN CUSTODY newsdzeZimbabweNewsdzeZimbabwe

A senior CCC figure, Amos Shibaya, was yesterday summoned before the courts on charges of incitement to public violence.

According to the Herald, he was remanded in custody pending a bail application today before Harare magistrate Mr Dennis Mangosi.

The State alleges that on 25 June, Jameson Temba and other members of the CCC were appearing before the Harare Magistrates Court for bail on charges of participating in an assembly with intent to promote public violence, breach of the peace or intolerance.

The accused and other CCC members came to show solidarity with Temba and others.

However, the court did not grant bail, prompting Chibaya to hold a meeting with a solidarity group at the entrance of the Harare Magistrates Court building, where Jumbo Agency and Austalus Gift Sisiba were among the speakers.

During the meeting, Chibaya incited violence by encouraging people to come out in large numbers to “release” the remand prisoners.

It is further alleged that as a result of the incitement, some people at the meeting promised Chibaya that they would forcefully remove the prisoners, saying in the colloquial language “Ticavatura nishisimba, ehiye”.

Chibaya illegally called for the use of force against the legal authorities holding Temba and others in lawful detention.
