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 after their lawyer Mr Alec Muchadehama informed the court that one of the accused persons Choto was sick.
Prosecutor Mr Edmore Nyazamba of the Attorney General’s Office alleges that the offence was committed on February 19 this year, at Zimbabwe Labour Centre, at Number 43 Julius Nyerere Way in Harare.
The State says Gwisai, a co-ordinator of the International Socialist Organisation and his accomplices connived to disturb peace, security or public order 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.
Former 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 protestors.
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.
