Mliswa refuses to hand over phone evidence

THREE Zanu PF party members who were arrested for inciting other party activists to commit acts of violence against Norton legislator Temba Mliswa (independent) at the burial of a party member Shepherd Tsomondo were on Tuesday removed from remand.

Their removal from remand comes after Mliswa reportedly refused to hand over his phone to the police for them to extract video footage as evidence in the case.

During Tsomondo’s burial in December at the Norton Provincial Heroes’ Acre, Zanu PF youths caused a scene after they stopped Mliswa from addressing mourners saying he was not a member of the ruling party.
