CCC Abandons Plan To Hold Car Rally But Insists On Holding Marondera Star Rally
The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has decided against conducting a mini car rally in Marondera on Saturday ahead of its Star Rally on the same day to be addressed by the party’s leader Nelson Chamisa.
On 8 March, CCC informed ZRP in Marondera of its plans to hold a district campaign star rally on 12 March at Rudhaka Open Grounds from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Then on 9 March 2022, the Officer Commanding Marondera District, P Mtetwa, in a letter addressed to CCC’s Caston Matewu, advised the opposition party cannot go ahead with the rally.
Mtetwa said CCC’s notification to hold a car rally “is invalid as it does not fully comply with the requirements of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act Chapter 11:23.”
In response, CCC, through their lawyers, Shava Law Chambers, wrote to police in Marondera advising that they have amended their notification of 8 March 2022 to reflect their new position, of not holding the car rally to comply with MOPA. Part of the letter reads:
