opposition supporter was unlawfully detained at Esigodini police camp for 6 six hours after being
accused that he drove without a licence. He was later accused of being a known Citizen Coalition
for Change activist. The case was conveniently twisted to further frustrate Sibanda. The continued
shrinking operating space was recorded at Sigodo of Gwanda North growth point where a war
veteran identified as Kenny Ndlovu intimidated Ukuthula trust members who were preparing to
exhume remains of a war veteran who was murdered by the Fifth brigade. As the Ukuthula trust
were beginning their work he approached them and said that was unlawful. He phoned the police
and in about 30 minutes a truck loaded with CIO, police in uniform and PISI arrived and started
interrogating members of Ukuthula trust, but finally Chief Mathema intervened leading to police
leaving but work was stopped yet to resume.
