Mamombe, Chimbiri and Marova are also facing separate
charges of faking their abduction after the demonstration.
Lovejoy Chitengu, Stanley Manyenga and Obey Tererai Sithole
join Mamombe, Chimbiri, Marova on the demonstration trial set down for January
19 to 21.
They are charged with participating in a public gathering
with intent to cause public violence.
The Sate led by Mr Tafara Chirambira yesterday furnished
the six with court papers to allow them to prepare for the hearing.
It is alleged that on around noon on May 13 the six teamed
up with several others and gathered at Warren Park 1 shopping centre in Harare
before marching towards the Harare-Bulawayo Road.
According to the State, they displayed and waved placards,
one of which was inscribed “Unlock us before we revolt”.
They were allegedly demonstrating against the extension of
Covid-19 national lockdown and were intercepted and dispersed by the police.
