Three suspected MDC-Alliance hooligans last Friday appeared
in court on allegations of stoning and assaulting Zanu-PF members who were
carrying out a national clean-up campaign in Mbare.
Elia Mutsindi (28), Jonathan Taizivei (25) and Cleopas
Chinodya (32) were facing assault charges when they appeared before Mbare
magistrate Mr Kudzai Zihove.
The three were freed on $100 bail, each. As part of their
bail conditions, they were ordered to report once a week at their nearest
police stations and not to interfere with State witnesses.
They were also ordered to continue residing at their given
addresses. The court heard that on January 22, Zanu-PF members were conducting
a clean-up exercise from the flyover along the road that leads to Mbare.
Upon reaching Block 1 Nenyere Flats in Mbare, the complainants
came across the accused and their accomplices who are still at large.
It is the State’s case that the accused started throwing
stones and machetes towards the complainants and their colleagues, resulting in
them sustaining head, elbow and leg injuries.
Mr Lawrence Gangarahwe prosecuted. Herald
