Wanted Tsenengamu hands self to police
POLICE on Friday arrested Government-critic Godfrey Tsenengamu after the former Zanu PF youth leader handed himself over to law enforcement agents following weeks of being on the police wanted list.
Law enforcement agents had appealed for information on the location of Tsenengamu and that of MDC Alliance deputy national chairman Job Sikhala, Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) president Peter Mutasa and a host of other activists.
Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi said the activists were being sought by the CID’s law and order department for interviews, for allegedly inciting public violence.
Sikhala has since been arrested and later remanded out of custody on charges of inciting public violence.
Tsenengamu along with the opposition had called for demonstrations on July 31 against corruption.
Authorities say the calls for protest were illegal and were aimed at removing the country’s constitutionally elected Government through unconstitutional means.
And as police announced their intention to interview Tsenengamu, the former Zanu PF youth leader released an audio insisting that police should instead aim their guns at Zanu PF spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa.
Tsenengamu urged police commissioner general Godwin Matanga to summon Chinamasa and quiz him ahead of the planned protest.
Chinamasa urged Zanu PF supporters to “use any means at your disposal to defend yourselves.”
Tsenengamu charged: “Mr bin it’s very unfortunate that you want to incite violence, you want Zimbabweans to fight against each other and this is very sad especially when it is coming from a failed old man who summons journalists to expose his foolishness and arrogance before the world.”
He continued: “Personally l understand why you have panicked it is because you are corrupt, your wife looted from Zimbabwe Farmers Union (ZFU) which has been collecting membership fees from Tobacco farmers without their consent.”
“We know that around 25 million dollars which was meant for afforestation disappeared when you were Finance minister as it changed hands with Tobacco Marketing Board (TIMB) which your wife chaired.”
“Your son is also involved with Wickenel Chivhayo you have your hands in the Gwanda solar scandals…Fuel coupons you get every time are coming from the looting cartels,” he added.
