MDC-T members arrested while doing door to door voter education campaigns in Beitbridge

The Standard reports that 11 Beitbridge MDC-T members, including losing parliamentary elections candidate, Morgan Ncube and a woman with a baby, were yesterday arrested in a late afternoon raid.

Among those who were arrested were Elliot Maveza,  Nicholas Tsvanhu and Elliot Mamombe, who lost the 2013 council elections. They are being accused of holding unsanctioned meetings after allegedly going on a door-to-door voter education campaign.

Police in Beitbridge could not confirm the development to The Standard as they were not answering their phones. An MDC-T source told the publication that the group including a woman with a nine-month-old baby, had been in custody pending court appearance.
