By Staff Reporter- Two opposition MDC legislators Settlement Chikwinya and Lloyd Mukapiko have been arrested on new charges.

This was after they had gone to report to police as part of their bail conditions.

Addressing the clergy and other national leaders at a breakfast meeting organised by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches on Thursday, MDC leader Nelson Chamisa implored the state to stop persecuting opposition leaders and their supporters on the basis of belonging to MDC.

Said Chamisa:

“…….We have MDC leaders who are not living in their homes because they are being persecuted not because they have committed any crime but simply because they belong to MDC.”
