MUTARE man has been arrested for accusing President Emerson
Mnangagwa of failing to properly run the country as he could no longer afford
to buy beer.
Tinashe Dembo (29) appeared before magistrate Tendai Mahwe
on Friday who denied him bail.
The State opposed bail claiming that he was likely to
abscond as he had other pending cases at the court and that he was likely to
interfere with evidence. Dembo, who is denying the allegations, will appear in court
on June 28.
It is the State's
case that on June 12, 2019, the accused was at Villa Sports Bar, where he
allegedly made an abusive statement concerning Mnangagwa.
He reportedly said: "President Emmerson Mnangagwa
ibenzi ratadza kugadzirisa economy yeZimbabwe, ikozvino zvinhu zvese
zvakudhura, nyangwe doro chairo
(President Emmerson Mnangagwa is a fool who has failed to
manage the Zimbabwean economy to an extent that everything is now expense
including beer). Newsday
