MDC Alliance activist Paddington Japajapa who was wanted by the police on allegations of inciting party supporters to conduct a demonstration in Harare soon after the July 30 harmonised elections, was arrested in Gweru on Sunday and was taken to Harare Central Police Station for further investigations.
Japajapa is likely to appear in court today. Police sources who spoke to The Herald confirmed Japajapa was still assisting them with investigations. The Zimbabwe Republic Police issued a statement saying they were looking for nine senior MDC-Alliance officials, including Japajapa, Tendai Biti and Morgen Komichi, on allegations of inciting the illegal demonstration.
Biti and Komichi have since been arrested and are appearing in court. Other MDC-Alliance functionaries which are still being sought by police are Happymore Chidziva, Jim Kunaka, Mafaiti Mubaiwa, Jeff Tafadzwa Chaitezvi, Lovejoy Chitengu and Chamunorwa Madya.
