UPND Cadres Arrested for Pulling Down PF Posters in Sesheke

24TH JANUARY, 2019 – Around 13:00 hours Wednesday 23rd January, 2019, Police in Sesheke received a report that suspected UPND supporters were removing campaign materials for their opponents.

When Police made a follow up of the report, they apprehended five people among them four men and one woman and also recovered improvised shot buttons (offensive weapons) from a Land cruiser which was being used by the UPND team.

UPND cadres later went to the Police Station to find out why their colleagues had been arrested and on their way back they blocked the road with stones which they picked from a construction site which is located near their camp.

Order was restored after Police officers rushed to the scene.

So far, the campaigns have been going on well in Sesheke as there has been no clashes recorded between participating political parties.

We however appeal to all Political Parties to adhere to electoral Laws and always preach messages of peace.

All participating Political Parties should desist from destroying or removing campaign materials of their opponents as such conduct has potential to breed anarchy.
