Man seeks discharge over Mugabe poster

MASVINGO – A man from Gutu who was arrested for flouting the Electoral Act in the run-up to the July 31 polls by tearing President Robert Mugabe’s poster is seeking discharge at the courts.

Innocent Bveketu (33) yesterday pleaded not guilty to the offence at the close of the State case, saying he was a victim of politics.

Magistrate Langton Ndokera is set to hand down judgement next Monday.
