According to the Herald, he was remanded in custody pending his bail application
today before Harare magistrate Mr Dennis Mangosi.
The State alleges that on June 25, Jameson Timba and other
CCC members were appearing at Harare Magistrates’ Court for bail ruling on a
charge of participating in a gathering with intent to promote public violence,
breach of peace or bigotry.
The accused and other members of the CCC came to show
solidarity with Timba and others.
However, the bail ruling was not delivered by the court,
which prompted Chibaya to convene a meeting with a solidarity group at the
entrance of the Harare Magistrates’ Court building where Agency Gumbo and
Ostallos Gift Siziba were among the speakers.
During the meeting, Chibaya incited violence by encouraging
the people to come out in large numbers to ‘free’ the custodial remand
prisoners.
It is further alleged that as a result of the incitement,
some people at the meeting promised Chibaya that they would take the prisoners
out by force, saying in vernacular, “Tichavatora nechisimba, eheeee”.
Chibaya unlawfully called for the use of force against the
legal authorities keeping Timba and others in lawful custody.
