Harare(ZimEye)MDC-T top-cadre Jameson Timba was arrested Friday afternoon on allegations of undermining the authority of the president by calling him a liar.
The MDC Secretary for International affairs and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s office, Timba was arrested Friday and at the time of writing was being detained at the Harare Central Law and order Section. He had just returned from a trip to Spain where he had accompanied Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
In a dramatic twist to the matter, the police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena professed ignorance saying that he was not aware of the arrest.

“The minister has been arrested. The charges are unclear but we suspect it has something to do with threats issued by ZANU-PF officials,” Tsvangirai’s spokesman Luke Tamborinyoka was quoted saying.
It is believed Timba is being persecuted for his outspoken exposure of President Robert Mugabe and senior Zanu-PF ministers which portrayed them as “liars” over the outcome of Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) summit held in Sandton, Johannesburg.
The arrest of Timba comes two days after ZANU PF propaganda commissar Jonathan Moyo made a pubic call for both Tsvangirai and Timba’s arrest. Moyo said Timba and Tsvangirai had allegedly violated Section 33 of the Criminal Code Section 33, which prohibits the undermining of the authority of the President or insulting the Head of State and Government.
Jonathan Moyo was quoted saying: “I strongly believe that it is high time that the law should take its course. It is totally unacceptable for Tsvangirai and Jameson Timba to call Cde Mugabe a liar,
“Who is Tsvangirai? He is just a senior minister and Timba a junior minister who is known for spearheading and mobilising funds for independent media under the three million pounds project sponsored by the West.” (ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

Basa kungokutsira chete like they did in Libya, Afganstan Iraq even ku Ivory Coast. Outarra had already won the war and the french cowards vakaita Mucheka dzafa. Now they think Zimbabwe is a soft target. Let them come and we will humiliate them. Nemiwo maMDC, what help do you need from rapists ,gay, bull frog eaters? Slimmy big green ones!! Madzedze!

  7. Respect is a core value of diplomatism. It must b agreed that these govt officials r bound with certain codes of conduct. There r ethics t be followed by diplomats nomatter their level of differences. Branding fellow govt officials as liars, thieves etc is gross misconduct. As in regards t the higher office of the president that cld lead t dismissal or even imprisonment. Irresponsible speeches n decisions is a known trait of tsvangtions n his leutenants. Hence they pose a national security threat therefore the law must take its course. This grp must learn that such verbal hooliganism isn’t tolerated according t our laws. Musungeyi vakomana anga afarisa, mchaza
