5 Chamisa activists arrested ‘over yellow T-shirts’

BY BERNADETTE MUCHANYERI
POLICE in Harare on Thursday arrested five opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activists, including one pedestrian, on a charge of public nuisance, but they claimed they were nabbed for wearing their party’s yellow T-shirts.

Police confirmed the arrest, saying the opposition members were arrested for blocking a pavement and disturbing flow of human traffic in central Harare.

Early this week, the Nelson Chamisa-led CCC party unveiled yellow as its official colour.
