Ruling in Joana Mamombe and others' case deferred

Harare Provincial Magistrate Mr. Taurai Manuwere has postponed the ruling in the case involving CCC legislator Joana Mamombe and her co-accused to June 13, as one of the defendants is currently taking exams.

Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri, Netsai Marova, Lovejoy Chitengu, Stanley Manyenga, and Obey Tererai Sithole are accused of staging an illegal demonstration in Warren Park.

The incident leading to their arrest occurred on May 13 at approximately 12:30 p.m., when the group, along with several others, gathered at Warren Park 1 Shopping Centre in Harare.

They allegedly marched from the shopping centre towards the Harare-Bulawayo Road, displaying and waving placards, one of which read "Unlock us before we revolt."

The police reportedly intercepted and dispersed the group.
