A group of 38 opposition activists arrested two weeks ago on allegations of public violence have been granted bail by a Chitungwiza magistrate.

The CCC activists were ordered to pay US$60 each and report to Chitungwiza police once every month as part of their bail conditions.

They were arrested following public violence which erupted in Nyatsime, where Zanu PF cell offices were destroyed.

The suspects also allegedly destroyed houses belonging to Zanu PF members, hitting the public with bricks and stones.

The group included Adam and Trevor Furukiya, Tashinga Chihaka, Donald Mugondegwa and others.

They however deny the allegations and insist they were not even close to the alleged crime scene.

The State was represented by Michael Reza, Malvern Mwendera, Faith Simango and Munyaradzi Karimazondo.
