Gwisai trial deferred

Gwisai, a former Highfield legislator and University of Zimbabwe law lecturer, is jointly charged with Antoneta Choto (36), Tatenda Mombeyarara (29), Edson Chakuma (38), Hopewell Gumbo (32) and Welcome Zimuto (25).

They appeared before provincial magistrate Mr Kudakwashe Jarabini who deferred the matter after the State represented by Mr Edmore Nyazamba of the Attorney General’s Office and Mr Michael Reza told the court that State witness, Detective Seargent Jonathan Shoko was attending to other business. The offence was allegedly committed on February 19 this year at Zimbabwe Labour Centre, at Number 43 Julius Nyerere Way in Harare. The States says Gwisai, a co-ordinator of the International Socialist Organisation and his accomplices connived to forcibly and to a serious extent disturb peace, security or order of the public in Zimbabwe.

It is alleged they agreed to mobilise Zimbabweans to revolt against the Government and demand the resignation of President Mugabe, the Egyptian way.
Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, was forced to resign after a revolt in which Government buildings were burnt, vehicles stoned and several people were injured or killed by people taking part in the revolt.

It is alleged that the six also acted together with the intention to endanger, promote or expose to hatred, contempt or ridicule the President and Government of Zimbabwe.
They allegedly delivered speeches encouraging participants to mobilise people to revolt against the President.

They allegedly showed the people videos and circulated some documents.
