Temba Mliswa arrested

Temba Mliswa Hurungwe West independent parliamentary candidate was arrested yesterday afternoon and charged with assault and tearing down campaign posters of another candidate.

His lawyer confirmed yesterday that Mliswa was arrested at a road block on his way to Karoi.

Meanwhile, Mliswa has filed an urgent application at the Electoral Court seeking postponement of the June 10 by-elections citing a sharp increase in voter intimidation by suspected Zanu-PF supporters.

In his urgent chamber application filed on Monday, Mliswa accused Zanu-PF secretary for administration Ignatius Chombo of fuelling the alleged terror and enlisting the services of the army to intimidate the electorate to vote for the ruling party's candidate, Keith Guzah.
