Godfrey Tsenengamu remanded in custody

13

FORMER ZANU PF Youth League political commissar chair Godfrey Tsenengamu has been remanded in custody to the 12th of this month.
He appeared in court this Saturday on allegations of inciting public violence.

The state-led by Mr Lancelot Mutsokoti and Desire Chidanire opposed the granting of bail to the accused.

Investigation officer in the matter Detective Inspector Clifford Mugaviri argued that if the accused is granted bail there are chances that he will team up with his accomplices and continue to pursue violent acts against the government.

Tsenengamu’s co-accused Jim Kunaka and Promise Mkhwananzi are still at large.

The court also heard that police are yet to record witness statements from a possible number of other seven people.

Tsenengamu through his legal representative Mr Harrison Nkomo argued that what has been presented before the court does not show any compelling reasons for the state to deny him bail since 31 July had come and gone without any violence.

Tsenengamu surrendered himself to the police on Friday.
Tsenengamu is among 14 political activists, including MDC Alliance national vice-chairperson Job Sikhala and Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe President Obert Masaraure who were on the police wanted list for inciting public violence ahead of the flopped July 31 protests.
