A Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activist spent a night in police cells in Karoi on Thursday after she was arrested for allegedly calling a Zanu PF supporter a prostitute.
Consider Chidimure appeared before Karoi magistrate,
Moreblessing Makati, facing charges of criminal insult as defined under the
Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
According to the State, on July 6 Chidumure asked Yolanda
Hannock to accompany her to Muzondiwa Savanje’s homestead to collect CCC
regalia.
Savanje is the CCC candidate for Ward 9 in Chiedza.
Chidumire gave Hannock
CCC T-shirts.
Later that day,
Hannock had a change of heart and returned the regalia saying she
supported Zanu PF.
Four days later on July 10, Hannock was with her netball
teammates at Chiedza grounds when Chidimure
confronted her for refusing to wear CCC regalia and allegedly insulted
her calling her a prostitute and describing Zanu PF as a useless party.
Hannock filed a police report.
Unite Saize from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights
(ZLHR) represented Chidimure while Progress Maponde prosecuted. Standard
