MDC Alliance’s Gilbert Mbwende was granted $10 000 bail
when he appeared before Mbare magistrate Nyasha Vhitorini after spending a
night in police custody.
His matter was remanded to Tuesday next week for trial.
The complainant is Zec.
Allegations are that on the March 24 at around 2200hrs at
Mhizha Primary School polling station in
Highfield, Harare, Mbwende, in the company of three unknown accused persons
stormed the polling station through an unlocked door as the presiding officer
and police officers were verifying voting materials from Zec.
The accused claimed that the presiding officer and the
police officers had started voting.
It is alleged that they took pictures and videos of the
polling station while also attempting to grab the voting materials from the
presiding officer.
They were stopped by police officers. They left, and
returned later with the district elections officer and the ward elections
officer and resolved their differences after it was verified that the voting
materials were intact.
The State said Mbwende acted unlawfully. Newsday
