Ninety-five protesters arrested after failed demonstrations couldn't secure bail from Harare Magistrate Isheunesu Matova. They faced charges about joining public gatherings aiming to cause violence. The magistrate feared releasing them might disturb public order because they could regroup under someone called "Nyokayemabhunu." He believed keeping them locked up protected public safety since their protests included blocking roads with stones. The accused must return to court on April 24 for a routine remand hearing.
Three additional suspects - Moreblessing Nkomo, Jenifer Chimange, plus Stabile Maduve - also failed to gain bail from Magistrate Ruth Moyo last week. Police arrested this trio at the Copa Cabana bus stop during the protests. According to officials, all these protesters gathered at Robert Mugabe Square around 9:20 am on March 31, planning to create public disorder. Some protesters recorded videos plus photos of their activities, which they shared online, trying to spark more trouble across the city.
