At Harare Magistrates Court, Kanyanzura Parere, a Zimbabwean clergyman & opposition political party leader is scheduled to stand trial on charges of contravening MOPO Act by allegedly leading an anti-govt protest in July.
Parere, the leader of Zimbabwe Transformative Party, has been in prison for more than 2 months after he was arrested on 9 July as he marched in central Harare together with 34 members of his Mirirai Jehovah Apostolic Church while singing a gospel song with the lyrics “Emmanuel tisunungure tanzwa nenhamo”.
Loosely translated (Save us Emmanuel we have been ravaged by poverty).
