POLICE in Gweru yesterday broke up a Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)
meeting and arrested four of its leaders on allegations of holding an illegal
public meeting.
The four - secretary-general Wellington Chibebe, first vice-president Lucia
Matibenga, coordinator Timothy Kondo, and Midlands vice-chairperson, Sam
Machinda - were arrested at the Gweru Theatre where they were holding a
workshop.
Riot police stormed the meeting and forced the crowd to disperse before taking
the four to Gweru central police station where they were still detained at the
time of going to press.
They were charged under Posa.
