‘ Ntabazinduna Chief Ndiweni was jailed for 18 months as a political sham trial influenced by Zanu-PF and Obert Mpofu.’ Coltart


The defiant Ntabazinduna Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni , accor4ding to David Coltart, was jailed 18 Months on Friday, the MDC Mother of all protest days, after being sentenced to 24 months in prison with six months off on condition of good behaviour by a Bulawayo magistrate.
Ndiweni was accused and charged for ordering the destruction of property belonging to banished subjects worth US$ 30 RTGS $300, even though there was no evidence found that Ntabazinduna Chief Ndiweni had himself damaged the said property.
Colatrt argues that “Zanu PF have been deeply angered by Chief Ndiweni’s staunchly independent attitude and principled criticism of all that is so wrong about Zimbabwe today. This politically motivated trial is clearly designed to silence a very troubling voice.”Coltart said they were angered by the jailing of Chief Ndiweni whom he described as honest, decent, compassionate and principled traditional leader.

“I have no doubt that Zanu PF have scored a major own goal in this sham trial. This shocking judgment and sentence will reverberate throughout Matabeleland and beyond. When I last met Chief Ndiweni (pictured below) he was on his way to Kwazulu Natal to meet South African traditional leaders, who I have no doubt are going to be deeply angered by this matter,” he said.
“All this will ultimately do is further undermine any last remaining respect rural people have for this pitiful, incompetent and corrupt regime.”
According to David Coltart, Chief Ndiweni’s legal team is preparing an appeal and an application for bail which will be lodged as soon as possible at the courts.
