Zanu-PF trying to weaken MDC Chamisa in Mashonaland Central

MDC Mashonaland Central provincial chairperson George Gwarada has condemned the recent arrest of 12 suspected protesters in Mvurwi and Guruve, saying the move was meant to weaken their support base in the Zanu-PF stronghold.

"As MDC, we strongly condemn the arrest of our supporters in Mvurwi and Guruve. All the suspects were denied bail, which is their constitutional right. But it is not surprising to us since Zanu-PF was shocked with our performance after managing to pick council seats in major towns around the province," Gwarada said on Monday.

Eleven MDC activists were arrested in Mvurwi and one in Guruve, and were remanded in custody to Friday, while 49 others were still at large.
