CCC’s Timba's son released on bail

Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo said Shaun Timba was caught up in the illegal gathering when he had gone there to deliver some gifts to his father.

THE son of Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) member, Jameson Zvidzai Timba, was yesterday released on a US$100 bail after the court ruled that he was not part of the alleged illegal gathering.

Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo said Shaun Timba was caught up in the illegal gathering when he had gone there to deliver some gifts to his father.

Timba and 78 other CCC members were arrested on Sunday at his house on charges of holding an illegal gathering with intent to cause public violence.

The accused persons were commemorating the Day of the Africa Child, according to party officials.

The group is being represented by Agency Gumbo, Lazurus Mbereko, Jeremiah Bamu and Webster Jiti.

Their bail application continues today. The CCC members are alleging torture at the hands of the police with a majority of them having visible scars.
