Gwanda mayor in trouble with police

Gwanda mayor Lionel DeNecker has reportedly landed himself in trouble with police following his recent attack on law enforcement agents whom he accused of usurping functions of the local authority.

Last week, DeNecker accused police of contravening council by-laws by confiscating vendors’ licences claiming they were fake.

Yesterday, police officers reportedly visited the Gwanda council offices looking for him, but were told he was in Harare on council business.
