Paul Nyathi|Good morning. Not sure if any update was made about arrested activist Josphat “Mzaca” Ngulube But as it stands

We hope that Justice will prevail and that Mzaca will be released.

1. 8 Armed police and soldiers looked for him at his house on Thursday night. Fortunately, he was not home
2. He handed himself to the police at Tshabalala Police Station on Friday morning and was immediately arrested.
3. He was detained at Central police overnight.
4. He appeared in court on Saturday for bail application.
5. He was remanded at Khami Prison whilst awaiting the ruling.
6. On Monday the 21st he appeared again in court for the ruling.
7. Bail was denied on grounds that the situation is not stable enough and that his release will jeopardize public safety
8. He will appear in court on Wednesday 23 January. Court 1.
9. His charge initially was Mobilizing for Public Disorder. As is, it is Public violence. He is alleged to have burnt down 3 cars in Sizinda. 2 belonging to ZANU Pf and 1 belonging to one Bitu, a woman’s league member of ZANU Pf. All 3 cars were in her yard.
10. Overwhelming evidence will be presented in court to prove that Mzaca was at the burial of one Jimmy Ngulube at Athlone when the skirmishes took place. A video of the hearse being led by Mzaca, a video of Mzaca giving closing remarks at the funeral and over 100 people that were with him at the funeral are all part of the evidence.
11. He is being represented by ZLHR lawyer Emmanuel Mlalazi
12. Sadly, the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional services has suspended all visits to Khami Prison on grounds that there was an attempt to rescue the prisoners.
