Popular Zanu-PF activist Rutendo Matinyarare has reportedly been arrested at Africa Unity Square for allegedly flying a drone moments ago. He is currently being held at Harare Central Police Station, sources say.
The arrest comes as police maintain a heavy presence around Africa Unity Square, citing security concerns ahead of planned demonstrations called by war veteran Blessed Geza. Authorities have cordoned off the area to prevent potential protests against President Emmerson Mnangagwa's extended rule, corruption, and governance failures.
Details surrounding Matinyarare's arrest remain unconfirmed, and police have not yet released an official statement. The development has heightened tensions in the capital, with activists and opposition figures closely monitoring the situation.
