“He is charged with inciting public violence,” Bamu told 263Chat.
Over 34 opposition supporters including MDC Alliance principal, Tendai Biti have been arrested in connection with the post election violence that rocked Harare on the 1st of August.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has since appointed a Commission of Inquiry to investigate the disturbing events that saw six people shot dead by soldiers. The commission is chaired by former South African President, Kgalema Motlante.
