He said they had ignored Zanu PF orders not to put on party regalia at the funeral wake.
of the daughter of MDC-T deputy district organising secretary for Chiredzi West, Victor Nyahuma.
“I spent about three hours at the police where they took a statement from me and charged me with violating POSA saying we had not notified them of the procession we had while burying the daughter of our party member last Sunday,” Dumbu said.
He said ZANU PF youths identified as David Chiwa, Peter Murambwa and one Hlatshwayo intimidated and scared away mourners, including the local AFM church members, from attending the funeral wake of Bliss Nyahuma, but nothing has been done to them.
He said it was surprising that he and Imbayago were arrested for not notifying the police about the funeral.
Police spokesperson, Inspector Tinaye Matake, could neither confirm nor deny the incident, but said he was yet to be briefed over the arrest.
