‘Zinasu president was on the run’

AN investigating officer yesterday told the court that Zimbabwe National Students Union (Zinasu) president Emmanuel Sitima was on the run for almost a month after police tried to arrest him for displaying placards and insulting police outside the Harare Magistrates Court.

Sitima (25) was arrested on Wednesday this week after police reportedly received information that violent skirmishes had erupted at the Zesa Training Centre in Belvedere, Harare, where the students were reportedly gathered.

The student leader is facing a charge of criminal nuisance.
