SHOCKING Kwekwe Demo Case Outcome.
In an unprecedented shocking court decision at KK magistrate courts at 2pm this afternoon (6/1/17), 3 MDCT members arrested for public violence emanating from a peaceful demonstration staged by over 300 people in the KK city on 16 July 2016, and in which it was reported that there were some stone throwing at the end of the demo, after police fired teargas and water canon to disperse the peaceful marchers. Kwekwe magistrate Nduna, sentenced MDCT Kwekwe Deputy Mayor Aaron Panganai Sithole (69) ward 3 Clr Weston Masiya (46) and one Yth Tendai Virimayi (33) to 2 years jail each. (5 other accused persons in the case, who included former MDCT Kwekwe Central legislator, Blessing Chebundo, and former KK Mayor Shadreck Tobaiwa, had been found not guilty when the lawyers applied for discharge in Nov 2026)
This is a clear political judgement/decision as insinuated during the the case outline.
In the meantime, the lawyers, Chitere, Chidavanyika, and Partners, are launching an appeal, and applying for bail.
