Jacob Ngarivhume leader of Transform Zimbabwe and Hopewell Chin’ono are in court this Wednesday morning facing charges of inciting public violence.
The duo was arrested on Monday and charged with contravening Section 187 (1) (a) as read with section 37 (1) (a) (i) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, Chapter 9:23, “incitement to participate in public violence”.
The state is opposing bail on the case of Chin’ono who is being represented by prominent lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa.
The two have in the most recent weeks been championing the anti-corruption crusade which exposed grand corruption by some government officials.
They have been urging the citizenry to throng to the streets on the 31st of this month over bad governance by the President Mnangagwa-led administration.
