Rose Chirenje
(65) and others were remanded in custody to October 27 this year.
It was the
State’s case that on October 17, Chirenje and her accomplices connived to
incite people to participate in a gathering called by Blessed Runesu Geza for a
One Million Men March.
The march was
intended to protest against President Emmerson Mnangagwa whom they accused of
allegedly betraying the people of Zimbabwe by aligning himself with criminals
and saboteurs.
The protest was
supposed to be held at Robert Gabriel Mugabe Square.
Geza rallied
members of the public through social media and pursuant to the calls, the 10
ex-combatants and their accomplices allegedly converged at the intersection of
George Silundika Avenue and Sam Mujoma Street near Africa Unity Square
intending to participate in the One Million Men March.
The court also
heard that during the gathering, Chirenje and the other nine ex-combatants were allegedly singing and
dancing denouncing the alleged saboteurs.
The court also
heard that after arresting five ex-combatants, the police found stones and
other different missiles hidden at the place they were gathered. Newsday
