Former Zanu PF provincial youth chairperson, Godfrey Tsenengamu who was arrested after he held a press conference without notifying the police has been denied bail. He was remanded in Custody to the 9th of March.
Tsenengamu held a press conference on Monday the 20th of February 2017 in which he said that First Lady Grace Mugabe was not presidential material. He also said that Grace had only agreed to be President Mugabe’s wife because she wanted to be First Lady. Tsenengamu went on to warn the First Lady not to talk about President Mugabe’s alleged successor whom he said Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa. This follows last week’s rally in Buhera in which the First Lady attacked Emmerson Mnangagwa saying that he had to go when President Mugabe left since he had been there with him since 1980.
He was initially charged with subverting the authority of the first family before the charges were changed to
- subverting a constitutionally-elected government,
- undermining the authority of the President
- conducting a Press conference without notifying the police under the Public Order and Security Act (POSA).
