ZCTU President Lovemore Matombo, Michael Kandukutu, Percy Mcijo,
Dumisani Ncube and Nawu Ndlovu - are still behind bars. Indications are
that they are going to be charged with contravening POSA - holding a
meeting without notifying the police. They are likely to apend the
night behind bars again and appear in court tomorrow.
Meanwhile, more than 15 ZCTU activists who
were arrested in December 2008 at the height of cash shortages during a
peaceful demonstration organised by the ZCTU have been summoned to
appear in court tomorrow (10 November). However, according to law the
summons are supposed to be issued 14 days before appearance in court
but they were only served with the summons today late morning.
It would seem that cases against ZCTU that
were considered closed are being revived as also the case that the
ZCTU leadership and some staffers were being accused of
misapproppriating foreign currency is set for court on 23 November
2009. The case had been thrown out for lack of evidence but the matter
is now being revived.
We will keep you updated of further
developments.
