A Facebook post turned into a courtroom battle, with Beitbridge activist Bhekimpilo Mbedzi facing allegations tied to planned demonstrations over Zimbabwe’s constitutional changes.
Mbedzi, a Matabeleland South leader in the National Democratic Working Group, was detained after authorities accused him of encouraging an unlawful gathering and unrest. Prosecutors pointed to a video where he held a No to 2030 message without an official notice being filed.
His legal team challenged the case details, saying the charge sheet lacked enough information. Police took his Samsung A04e phone, and he remained in custody while seeking bail.
