Advocate Mpofu was vividly disappointed A passer-Department of Information.   “A Toyota Belta approached the Jason Moyo and Rotten Row robots at around midday. The driver, a male who later identified himself as a lawyer; slowed down in a way that suggested compliance with the Police Officers who had waved him to stop for routine checks. “But alas, before the officer could speak much, the three passengers, whom I identified as MDC activists, Joana Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova began to shouting at the security officers, spewing gross insults which my hold tongue find it difficult to utter,” said Ndlovu. He added: “Other Police officers moved towards the car as well as two members of the Army. I clearly saw one member of the military tapping the rear window and one of the ladies opened the door shouting.   “The Military guy probed for the reasons behind their insults and eventually Cecilia took not time to burst into a loud exaggerated cry as if she had amplifiers implanted on her thorax. As if that was not enough she began to disfigure her face, crying and shouting that she had been heavily whipped.” The trio and their lawyer were then instructed to go to Harare Central Police station. “Immediately the security officers stepped a few yards from them, but commanded them to remain where they were. I moved a bit closer and asked the three ladies why they were insulting the officers, but they denied vehemently.   “At that point, Advocate Thabani Mpofu arrived and asked Cecilia to stop her tantrums, appealing to the security forces for the ‘descalation’ of the whole situation as he said it. However, the security forces advised Advocate Mpofu that they would not make any decision, but rather advised Advocate Mpofu that they would only act on instructions from their superiors. “In no time another Police vehicle arrived and through the counsel of Advocate Mpofu, the girls were advised to follow the police vehicle to the Station, together with one of the security guys who were manning the roadblock. Advocate Mpofu also publicly rebuked Chimbiri on her failure to cooperate with the Police.” said Ndlovu.
