Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. The police have said opposition politician Tendai Biti is not under any investigation, following reports that a truckload of riot police had been stationed outside Biti Law Chambers in Milton Park, Harare, on Saturday, 15 November 2025.
Reports suggested the deployment was in anticipation of a gathering by the Constitution Defence Forum, which Biti leads. Biti, who said he was in Chiredzi, described the police presence as “psychotic paranoia.”
In a statement on the same day, Biti’s lawyers from Tsunga Bamu Law International confirmed that they had engaged the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) after multiple officers were deployed around the vicinity and precincts of his law offices. The statement reads in part:
“In line with our mandate, our Mr Jeremiah Bamu engaged with the police to ascertain whether any of our clients were persons of interest in any ongoing police investigations and establish means in which to assist in those investigations, if any.
“We have been reassured by the police that neither Mr Tendai Biti, Tendai Biti Law, nor any of its members of staff or partners are subjects of any current or ongoing police investigations.
“We have also been assured that the police are merely performing their routine duties of maintaining law and order and were not specifically targeting Mr Tendai Biti, Tendai Biti Law or any of its staff or partners, or any other person ordinarily residing or plying their trades in that area.
“They also reassured us that should they require our clients, they would communicate in the proper channels, including through us.
“We equally reassured the police that our clients are law-abiding citizens who are keen to cooperate with the police at any point they are required to do so.
“We reassured the police that, in line with our professional mandate, we stand ready to engage with them should the need arise, but in the meantime, we would confirm to our clients and the world at large that our clients are not wanted by the police in connection with any matter.”
