#NERA DEMO: Mujuru, Biti Arrive
26 August 2016
Running battles continue between riot police and protesters, this has not stopped the opposition leaders who have now arrived at the venue.
So far ZimEye is informed that Joice Mujuru and Morgan Tsvangirai are now at the venue. We have not received information of the presence of other leaders. There were delays to the start of the demo organised by over 18 political parties under the banner NERA which is pushing for electoral reforms.
Meanwhile, we are receiving reports that activist Sten Zvorwadza has been arrested for allegedly inciting public violence.
The High Court gave a nod this morning for the demo to go ahead.
High Court Judge justice Mwayera expressed dismay that the police had already brutally dispersed demonstrators from where the march was supposed to begin at Freedom Square near the Harare Magistrates’ court. The judge ordered the police to respect the Constitution, particularly individual rights and freedoms.

At last, thank God Mthwakazi. Shonas gather to clean up the tribally-inspired political mess they created in 1980. Viva Mthwakazi – you have always been right from day one. What a highly principled and consistent people. I love you Mthwakazi!!
