Zanu PF youths acquitted

KWEKWE — Provincial magistrate Letwin Rwodzi has acquitted two Zanu PF youths who were being charged with disorderly behaviour and threatening to attack MDC-T secretary-general Tendai Biti during a campaign rally in Mbizo two months ago.

In her ruling, Rwodzi said the State had failed to prove that the Zanu PF activists, Blessing Chikwira and Libson Jaure, had indeed disrupted the MDC-T rally.

The State had alleged that the two were intercepted after they charged at Biti, who was addressing an MDC-T campaign rally at Mbizo 4 business centre, wielding a home-made knife on March 14 this year.
