Emmerson Mnangagwa, centre, and his wife Auxillia, right, arrive at the presidential inauguration ceremony in the capital Harare, Zimbabwe, Friday, Nov. 24, 2017.
A man accused of undermining the authority of President Emmerson Mnangagwa was released last Friday on $100 bail by magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa.
Gastaff Kativhu, 46, allegedly entered the venue of the Zanu PF extraordinary congress in Harare and headed to the VIP tent while waving placards accusing Mnangagwa of killing his friend and calling for the UN to supervise Zimbabwe’s forthcoming general elections.
The placard also accused the Zanu PF government of failing to fulfil its election promise to provide millions of jobs. His placard also accused Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga of being part of a diamond mafia.
He told the court that he was being threatened by unknown visitors in remand prison.
Kativhu’s lawyer Job Sikhala told the court that the prisons system was allowing “strange people” to visit his client in remand prison.
Sikhala had lodged a bail application to have his client released protesting his “unlawful” arrest.
Sikhala also gave a notice to challenge the lawfulness of his arrest.
