MDC-T youths yesterday had to be dispersed by police after they started chanting slogans and toyi-toying at the Harare Magistrates' Court.

The youths were following the case in which 28 of their members are accused of murdering a policeman in Glen View.

They gathered outside the court building and started sloganeering after the case was deferred to today.

The 28 members appeared at the Harare Magistrates' Courts for routine remand but the case was postponed to tomorrow after the accused opposed to their continued placement on remand and want their reporting conditions to the police relaxed.  

Each of the accused who is out on bail is reporting three times a week at his or her nearest police station.

Meanwhile, the ruling for bail at the High Court by the MDC Youth Assembly chairperson, Solomon Madzore and Lovemore Taruvinga Magaya, a youth activist will be heard by Justice Hlekani Mwayera today, Thursday.

The two officials are part of 28 MDC activists who are facing charges of murdering a policeman in Glen View in May.
