CITIZENS Coalition for Change (CCC) aspiring MP for Chirumanzu South constituency, Patrick Cheza and five party supporters arrested Friday over violence allegations have been granted ZW$50 000 bail each by a Gweru magistrate.<\/p>\n

Cheza (50) was arrested together with Tinashe Moyo (47), Christopher Mutoboni (33), Elias Madhuviko (26), Tanyaradzwa Calisto Marimbe (23) and Alex Gamuchirai (37) all from Chirumanzu.<\/p>\n

Prosecution, among other things, accused the grouop of tearing a Zanu PF book worth US$1 and a phone cover.<\/p>\n

They also stand accused of assault and robbery.<\/p>\n

CCC however contends the six were landed in trouble after challenging the presence of Zanu PF affiliate Forever Associates Zimbabwe (FAZ) representatives at polling stations in Chirumhanzu.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, in one of the charges, on May 31, the suspects went to Govere Primary school where a voters inspection exercise was underway.<\/p>\n

They allegedly approached Philemon Madzivanyika demanding to know what he was doing at the inspection centre, grabbed him by the belt and damaged his phone cover worth US$3.<\/p>\n

The court heard they went to another polling centre where they manhandled a Zanu PF member and stole his US$50 and identity particulars including a Zanu PF membership card.<\/p>\n

At one station they allegedly tore a book worth US$1 after confronting another Zanu PF member.<\/p>\n

The arrest of the group follows widespread complaints over FAZ operations by opposition politicians.<\/p>\n
