GUTU-Magistrate Mitchell Panavanhu is today hearing a bail application for arrested Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) member Goodson Matanda (51), who is accused of assaulting a Forever Associates Zimbabwe (FAZ) member.
Matanda of Chifamba Village, Chief Munyaradzi in Gutu, was arrested on Friday for allegedly assaulting a FAZ member, Shamiso Madondo, at Rafamoyo Primary School on Thursday.

Matanda initially appeared before Magistrate Panavanhu on Saturday under case number GT321/23. He was remanded in custody to Thursday for trial.
Circumstances are that on the day around 5: 15 pm, Matanda went to check his name in the voter’s roll at Rafamoyo Primary School.
On his way out of the centre, he allegedly began recording videos of Zanu PF and FAZ members using his mobile phone.

Madondo confronted him, and a misunderstanding ensued. He allegedly punched her once in the mouth, once on the head and once on the right breast.
He also allegedly insulted her by calling her a poor b*itch being used by Zanu PF and was refrained by Sheila Mashavira.

A Medical examination report will be produced in court.
Police details at the centre did not arrest him, and he was arrested on Friday at a beer drink.
