CCC MP, Gift Siziba, Arrested For Allegedly Defacing Campaign Posters
CCC deputy spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba has been re-arrested ahead of his scheduled court appearance this Friday.
Siziba was arrested on Wednesday on allegations of inciting public violence during a league match between Dynamos and Highlanders at Babourfields Stadium on Sunday.
The 29-year-old Pelandaba Tshabalala legislator was later released and ordered to appear in court this Friday.
Siziba is now facing three charges namely; inciting public violence at Barbourfields Stadium, singing at the home of rival Soneni Moyo and defacing her campaign posters on 16 August 2023 and at Pelandaba shops in Bulawayo.
Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com on Thursday, Siziba said Zimbabwe is moving towards a period of uncertainty. He said:
The recent attacks, persecution and illegal arrest of our Councillors and MPs is a clear sign that the regime is petrified.
We just came out of an election, and our people are being punished for rejecting ZANU PF on the ballot.
No victor would punish his people, no father would beat up his kids after winning a lotto.
It is self-evident that our country is going back into a dark cloud of illegitimacy, stagnation and uncertainty.
The closure of democratic space and attack on dissenting voices will soon show its ugly face on the economy.
A disputed and discredited election cannot produce legitimate leadership.
