The rallies were scheduled for Thursday to Saturday at
Holland, Muzite and Pfidza Business Centres in the Chipinge East constituency.
Officer Commanding Chipinge, Superintendent Godwill
Chinyanganya had banned the rallies on Wednesday alleging that CCC
notifications were not compliant with the provisions of the Maintenance of
Peace and Order Act (MOPA).
“I chief Superintendent Godwill Chinyanganya the regulatory
authority for Chipinge district, the police district which covers areas
including meetings at the above-mentioned business centres. May I advise you
that all your notifications are not compliant with the provision of the
Maintenance of Peace and Order Act chapter (11:23). I urge you to revisit
them,” read the letter.
CCC then appealed his decision at the local court. Admire
Nkumbula of Mhungu and Associates represented CCC.
He argued that Chinyanganya had given a vague excuse for
CCC not to hold its rallies. After the reprieve, the party held a rally at
Pfidza Business Centre last Sunday. Masvingo Mirror
