Just In: Harare Magistrate Grants Bail To CCC's 26 Budiriro Activists

Twenty-six members of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) who were arrested in Budiriro have been granted bail by Harare Magistrate Yeukai Dzuda.

The activists who are from Budidido were granted ZWL$30 000 each while two of the accused, one aged 81 and another aged 72 years were granted free bail.

They were all remanded to 3 February 2023.

CCC national spokesperson, Fadzayi Mahere, announced the development. In a Twitter post seen by Pindula News, Mahere said:

BREAKING: The #Budiriro26 have been granted bail by the Magistrates’ Court. They are to pay 30K bail each, report to police once a week and not interfere with witnesses. Thank you to all citizens who flooded the court in solidarity with our change champions.

Mahere said the party was not celebrating the activists’ release. She said:

We don’t celebrate the release of the #Budiriro26. They should never have been arrested in the first place. How can we celebrate 2 weeks of abuse that led to our members contracting Covid in jail? It’s not a crime to say “Ngaapinde Hake Mukomana.” We will not stop saying it!

They were arrested almost a fortnight ago when they intended to hold “an unsanctioned” meeting at the house of Costa Machingauta, the opposition MDC Alliance Member of Parliament for Budiriro.

While at the gathering, the accused persons chanted [CCC] political party slogan “Ngaapinde hake Mukomana, 2023 Chamisa chete chete” meaning “let the boy get in, 2023 Chamisa only”.

Members of ZRP Budiriro received a tip-off that the accused were gathered and went to investigate.

Police say upon arrival at Machingauta’s house, officers observed that the accused’s conduct was disturbing the peace of a section of members of the public.

CCC organising secretary Amos Chibaya and Machingauta were among those arrested.

They are keeping hon sikhala inside so as to try to force people to respond physically and use that as a pretext to avoid elections.

The arrest of people attending a private meeting at a private dwelling is gross abuse of authority and power. The detention of 26 non-violent people for 2 weeks in spurious charges is a travesty of Justice. We are aware that ZANU is running scared of the pending elections because of history of non-perfomance over 43 years, and the deteriorating economic environment. ZANU has no positive message to the electorate and is therefore using lawfare to intimidate opposition. All dictatorships thrive on abuse of authority and power, but eventually it has always been the downfall of tyrants. In quantum physics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. While ZANU is abusing power, force and authority, the electorate will use a more subtle tool - the ballot. ZANU's days are numbered.

They shud not have been arrested in the first place. Zimbabweans commit no crime by calling for a change in leadership. Zanu has failed and we continue to fight for a change in leadership. Ngaapinde hake mukomana bcz the zanu regime has failed. Zanu may hate to hear this and try to silence the people, but the truth is, ngaapinde hake mkomana. We can't continue in crisis just bcz of one old man who refuses to leave office.
