CCC activists caged 18 months

A MARONDERA magistrate yesterday invoked President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s anri-violence mantra while sentencing two Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) supporters accused of assaulting a Zanu PF supporter.

The CCC supporters Taurai Befura (47) and Dennis Chiradza (63) were each sentenced to 18 months imprisonment with six months suspended, with no option of a fine for assaulting a Zanu PF supporter in Mahusekwa on May 14, 2022.

No medical affidavit was produced in court as evidence of the assault.
