A Chimanimani Chief Timothy Munorowazve Muusha has reversed his controversial verdict to fine two Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activists three goats for defying a local headman's directive to vote for the ruling party Zanu PF during the August 23 harmonised elections.
During a traditional court session held Saturday, the Chief also dropped"charges" against another CCC activist Isaah Mapunga who was being accused of campaigning for the opposition party during the period leading to the elections.
In an interview, Solomon Tambwera who was fined three goats alongside his bother for allegedly defying headman Charles Manzou's directive that all villagers in Manzou area should vote for the ruling party Zanu PF during the elections said the development is not worth celebrating because they had not committed any offence in the first place.
The CCC activist said the Chief did not give any reasons why he was withdrawing the charges but he instructed his secretaries not to entertain any political-related cases in the future.
