Cop-assaulting Kwekwe kombi crews seek bail at High Court

THE eight Kwekwe kombi crews arrested last week after they allegedly assaulted traffic police officers during a protest over alleged police corruption, have approached the High Court seeking bail.

Takudzwa Ushe, Aaron Mutesanwa, King Seremwe, Alafios Munemo, Richard Manga, Progressive Magombedze, Witness Moyo and Richard Mapfumo were last week denied bail by Kwekwe magistrate, Livard Philimon, who ruled that they were likely to cause further violence.

But the accused, through their lawyer Artwel Chinamatira, argued that the magistrate erred in denying them bail.
