By A Correspondent- Tajamuka/Sesjikile leader Promise Mkhwananzi has been arrested and is being detained at Harare Central police station, ZimEye can exclusively reveal.

Mkhwananzi, a prominent government critique last week revealed that he was on the police wanted list and he was sending his lawyer Job Sikhala to inquire why he was wanted by the police pledging to hand himself to the law enforcement agents according to the law.

His lawyer, (Sikhala) confirmed that Mkwananzi was arrested by the police along First Street in Harare around 2pm.

He, however could not comment on his client’s charges revealing that since he was out of Harare, he had handed over the case to Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights who had assigned Advocate Bhatasara to handle the matter.

Said Sikhala:

“Mkwananzi was arrested along First Street in Harare around 1400hours. He is currently being detained at Harare Law and Order.

I am out of Harare and the ZLHR’s Advocate Bhatasara is currently handling the case until i come back tomorrow.”

Efforts to get a comment from Advocate Bhatasara were futile by the time of writing.
