Anti-Zanu PF solo demonstrator remanded

A SOLO protester, Gustaff Kativhu, who allegedly stormed the Zanu PF extraordinary congress in Harare last year carrying placards denouncing President Emmerson Mnangagwa as a “murderer”, yesterday denied setting foot at the venue.

One of Kativhu’s placards described former Zimbabwe Defence Forces Commander General Constantino Chiwenga, who is now Mnangagwa’s deputy, as a “diamond thief”.

In an application, challenging his arrest and placement on remand, Kativhu told magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa that he had confiscated the placards from a roadside artist for disposal.
