Ex-combatants denied bail

THE 10 veterans of the liberation struggle who were arrested after staging a demonstration in Harare last week were remanded in custody when they appeared before Harare magistrate Tapiwa Kuhudzai facing a charge of participating in a gathering to promote public violence.

Rose Chirenje (65) and others were remanded in custody to October 27 this year.

It was the State’s case that on October 17, Chirenje and her accomplices connived to incite people to participate in a gathering called by Blessed Runesu Geza for a One Million Men March.
