MDC-T senator-elect for Siyakobvu in Kariba John Malaba has been arrested in connection with violence that left scores of Zanu-PF supporters injured.

Police also recovered red masks and axe handles among other items and weapons allegedly used in the attack on Zanu-PF supporters.

Police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Oliver Mandipaka confirmed the arrest and recovery of the weapons.

He said Malaba was expected to appear in court soon on public violence charges.

Chief Supt Mandipaka said Malaba was suspected to be the mastermind of the violence that broke out in the town.

MDC-T has been unleashing violence throughout Zimbabwe since the March 29 harmonised elec- tions.

They have been targeting war veterans and senior Zanu-PF district and provincial leaders in their quest to erase the countrys history and effect a regime change.

Well, if a police chief superintendent says something, then it MUST be true, mustn't it? I'm sure everyone on indymedia can agree on that. Opposing the bastards who rule us here doesn't mean supporting the bastards who rule Africa.

'Well, if a police chief superintendent says something, then it MUST be true, mustn't it? I'm sure everyone on indymedia can agree on that. Opposing the bastards who rule us here doesn't mean supporting the bastards who rule Africa.'

Police over there are not the same as in the UK...after all, Zimbabwe is governed by a government that understands the meaning of 'sovereignty'.

Your language marks you as the sort of character id NOT like to see anywhere near levers of power.
