Prosecutor Thomas Chanakira told Harare magistrate Apollonia Marutya that the matter was being withdrawn before plea because the State could not sustain its case.

Kunaka was facing charges of incitement to cause public violence, breach of peace or bigotry and an alternative charge of organising an illegal public gathering.

The State had alleged that sometime between March 1 and July 30, 2020, Kunaka posted a video clip on social media platforms inciting the public to participate in anti-government protests slated for July 31, 2020.
