No joy for CCC 78

OPPOSITION CCC official Jameson Timba and 77 fellow party activists arrested in Harare nearly two weeks ago for gathering “with intent to promote violence” have been further remanded in custody to July 10 after their bail application was shot down by magistrate Ruth Moyo.

Jameson Timba and 77 party members have been languishing in remand prison since their arrest on June 16.

The magistrate said the party activists were not suitable candidates for bail and were a public security threat.
