A 23-YEAR-OLD Harare man was arraigned before the courts on charges of inciting public violence after he allegedly called for commuters in the city centre to revolt against President Emmerson Mnangagwa. BY MIRIAM MANGWAYA Allan Moyo yesterday appeared before Harare magistrate Judith Taruvinga and was not asked to plead. The State, led by prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti, alleges that on July 3, 2020, Moyo and his accomplices who are still at large gathered at Copacabana bus terminus and unlawfully addressed passengers waiting for transport. They allegedly said: 'Comrades Zimbabwe has never been ripe for revolution at any given time than now. It is our time to revolt against this government because I can say this clearly that Emmerson Mnangagwa and (former health minister) Obadiah Moyo, maitiro avo ndeekuparadza isu (their conduct is meant to destroy us).” They also allegedly said that Mnangagwa and Moyo’s conduct lacked wisdom and was aimed at destroying Zimbabwe, adding that a revolt was necessary because citizens had been deprived of a brighter future.

Five people have been killed in election-linked violence in Ghana, police said on Wednesday in what it described as separate incidents that occurred since the morning of Monday's presidential and parliamentary vote.
The Ghanaian Police Service said it recorded over 60 incidents. \"Twenty-one of the incidents are true cases of electoral violence, six of which involve gunshots resulting in the death of five,\" it said.
President Nana Akufo-Addo ran for re-election against main rival, former President John Mahama, and 10 other candidates.
On Tuesday, opposition leader John Mahama warned President Nana Akufo-Addo against any attempt to steal this week's election, as both sides claimed they were winning ahead of official results of the vote.
The elections have largely been deemed free and fair by observers but t he strong statement by John Mahama raised the temperature after Monday's presidential and parliamentary polls in a country known for stability in a troubled region.
\"Some of what is happening is unacceptable and Nana Akudo-Addo continues to show credentials that are very undemocratic,\" Mahama told a hastily convened press conference in the capital Accra Tuesday evening.
\"You cannot use the military to try and overturn some of the results in constituencies that we have won. We will resist any attempts to subvert the sovereign will of the Ghanaian people,\" the 62-year-old former president said.
Information minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told a press conference -- convened just minutes after Mahama spoke -- that allegations of intimation by soldiers were false.
The electoral commission has yet to announce the final official results but the race was expected to be close between Mahama and Akufo-Addo, 76, of the centre-right New Patriotic Party (NPP), with recent polls putting the incumbent narrowly ahead.
The presidency released an unofficial tally on Tuesday claiming that results from 91 percent of polling stations showed the president with 52.25 percent of votes and Mahama with 46.44 percent.
Mahama, the leader of the centre-left National Democratic Congress (NDC), meanwhile claimed that his party had won a majority -- 140 -- of the 275 seats in parliament.
\"We thank the Ghanaian people for the confidence they've expressed in us. It's clear, the Ghanaian people want change in this country,\" Mahama said.
The government strongly rejected the opposition's claim that it had won a parliamentary majority, saying the announcement \"could endanger the peace of this country.\"
Oppong Nkrumah said \"this dog whistle to supporters by the candidate to jubilate, to get out on the streets\" was \"categorically irresponsible and it flies in the face of good conduct.\"
- 'Isolated challenges' -
The electoral commission has urged the public to wait, saying it was \"working round the clock to ensure that the collated results are accurate and a true refection of the will of the people\".
\"The commission will release all the certified results as soon as they are received,\" it said in a statement on Tuesday aftern

Police yesterday nabbed five men suspected of being part of a vehicle theft and smuggling syndicate. BY PRAISEMORE SITHOLE The thieves were caught after they allegedly smuggled a stolen white Toyota Hilux single cab vehicle from South Africa and drove it to Zimbabwe, but they ran out of fuel along the Bulawayo-Beitbridge Road. National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi yesterday confirmed the arrest. “A white Toyota Hilux single cab was stolen in South Africa on December 3 and it was driven to Zimbabwe. Police managed to arrest five suspects in Mazunga area,” Nyathi said without naming them. “The area where they were arrested is 255km along Bulawayo-Beitbridge Road, after the vehicle had run out of fuel. Investigations are still in progress.” Nyathi said they had received a report from the South African side that a hired car had gone missing. “We received a report that a white Hilux which belonged to a car rental company had been hired on December 3 and was supposed to be returned on December 4. The car was not returned and on December 5 a report was made to the Beitbridge Police that a vehicle was missing. “The five were caught when they tried to refuel the car after they had run out of fuel. Investigations are still ongoing.” In 2018, a 63-year-old South African national Willem Schalk Janzen-Root was jailed for seven years in Zimbabwe over vehicle smuggling charges. Janzen-Root was believed to be part of a vehicle trafficking syndicate which uses Zimbabwe as a transit route for luxury cars from South Africa for resale in other countries.
