Duo arrested for attempting to disrupt presidential motorcade

TWO men were today arraigned before Harare magistrate Caroline Matanga facing criminal nuisance charges after they were allegedly spotted attempting to throw stones at the Presidential motorcade.

The pair, Stewart Huni (21) of Chitungwiza and Nesbert Coffee (28) of Epworth were allegedly heard on November 19 shouting: “Toda kukanda Matombo ku motorcade” (we want to throw stones at the motorcade) while at Cnr Jason Moyo and Julius Nyerere Way in Harare.

They were also heard shouting “Ndakufaya ini ndakufaya”, which was understood as stating that they were ready to throw stones as the motorcade was passing.
