He is alleged to have been part of a group which went on a
spree around the Harare CBD spray painting political statements on government
buildings.
Darlington Upenyu Chigwena was not asked to plead when he
appeared in court this Wednesday.
He will be back in court today for bail considerations.
Chigwena’s accomplices – Emmanuel Sitima, Comfort Mpofu,
Tawanda Watadza and Lionel Madamombe – appeared in court last week and are in
custody pending bail considerations.
Allegations are that between 14 and 15 May, at night, the
group of students, and others who are still at large, went to the Parliament of
Zimbabwe with red and black spray paint cans.
They evaded security details on duty and allegedly spray
painted on, and defaced the southern wall of the Parliament of Zimbabwe
Building, along Nelson Mandela Avenue.
Their message was calling for the release of Job Sikhala,
who is in remand prison.
Using the red paint, they allegedly wrote the words, “Free
Wiwa,” “Free Job Sikhala.”
From there, they proceeded to the High Court, Methodist
Church, Harare Magistrates’ Civil Court and Karigamombe Building, inscribing
the same statements. H Metro
