At about 09:25 hours today we received a distress call from BitiTendai advising us that he had been arrested by police in Karoi. He was not informed of any charge. He was eventually released without any charges against him.

BitiTendai has since advised us that he has been receiving death threats. This follows a heated telephone conversation with a person identifying himself as Gakanjwe quizzing BitiTendai about tweeting on government’s failure to deal with #COVID19

At about 16:00 hours we received another distress call that some unidentified people 2 men & a woman were affixing cardboard boxes with threatening messages. This follows a press statement on #COVID19 situation by ZANU PF in which BitiTendai was mentioned.
