Chipanga, ZRP taken to court by War Vets
Published: 2016 February 20 05:53:17 (2756 Views)
War veterans yesterday filed an urgent chamber application at the High Court seeking the arrest of Zanu-PF deputy youth leader Kudzanayi Chipanga if his group threatens or disturbs the former freedom fighters' special general meeting that has been rescheduled for Monday in Harare.
In the same application, the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association (ZNLWVA) is seeking an order barring the police from intimidating, assaulting or using tearsmoke against its members.
Home Affairs Minister Ignatius Chombo and Police Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri were cited as respondents in their official capacities, while Chipanga was listed in his personal capacity in the urgent chamber application.
Chipanga, according to the application, uttered unlawful statements at a youth meeting he addressed on Wednesday and the war veterans want him arrested for contempt of court if he continues with his threats or disrupts the planned meeting.
The lawyers argued that ZNLWVA was not a political party and that their gathering was a mere private and internal meeting that was not open for the general public, hence there was no need for police clearance.
The matter was still to be set down for hearing at the High Court.
