Gwisai’s case deferred

Wednesday.
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).

Provincial magistrate Mr Kudakwashe Jarabini deferred the matter because defence lawyer Mr Alec Muchadehama was not available. The State alleges that the offence was committed on February 19 this year at Zimbabwe Labour Centre, at Number 43 Julius Nyerere Way in Harare. Gwisai, a co-ordinator of the International Socialist Organisation and five others allegedly connived to disturb peace, security or public order in Zimbabwe. It is alleged they agreed to mobilise the people of Zimbabwe to revolt against the Government and demand the resignation of the President, the Egyptian way.
