A Harare magistrate on Tuesday denied bail to leaders of the National Vendors Union of Zimbabwe, Samuel Wadzai and Stendrick Zvorwadza, who are facing public violence charges.
Magistrate Tendai Mahwe ruled that Wadzai, Zvorwadza and 14 other vendors who were arrested by council police during a crackdown on illegal street traders were likely to disturb peace if they were released on bail arguing that the crackdown on vendors was still going on.
Zvorwadza, Wadzai and others are denying the charges saying they were arrested by council police when they were demanding that authorities release wares of the vendors that had been confiscated by Harare municipal police last week.
The case is expected to continue on August 4th.-VOA
