MDC-T youth assembly chairperson for Matabeleland South, Morgan Ncube, who is alleged to have insulted President Robert Mugabe, will continue to languish in police cells for the next two weeks after a magistrate in Plumtree on Friday remanded him in custody to July 6.

Ncube’s lawyer, Liberty Mcijo of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, said the court had given them the go-ahead to apply for bail today.

Ncube has been in custody since he handed himself to the police early this month following reports that they were keen to interview him for allegedly calling Mugabe “a baboon” during a campaign rally in Bulilima.

On his initial appearance he was denied bail as the magistrate said he could incite violence ahead of the forthcoming elections.

Ncube is also a Beitbridge councillor.
