Two MDC-T youth members, Gresham Mpofu (40) and Muchi Chiwara Muzengeza (39) yesterday appeared before magistrate Nomsa Sabarauta charged with assault after they bashed Isaac Machesa who is based at Police General Headquarters (PGHQ), for parking his vehicle at one of the bays reserved for their party leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, at Harvest House in Harare.
Mpofu and Muzengeza pleaded not guilty and said that Machesa hated them to the extent that he arrested them while they were crossing Julius Nyerere Way on their way to attend a meeting at Harvest House while dressed in party regalia. A State witness and employee at a nearby pharmacy, whose identity has been withheld, corroborated with the two MDC-T’s story and told the court the police officer was lying and that he had not been assaulted.
