HARARE \u2013 The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has launched a nationwide manhunt for opposition political activist Godfrey Karembera, widely known as \u2018Madzibaba Veshanduko\u2019, who escaped arrest during a dramatic high-speed chase in the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karembera (47) and his accomplice, Kudzai Weston Saruwaka, are wanted for allegedly distributing fliers calculated to incite public unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement over the weekend, ZRP national spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, confirmed the incident and appealed to the public for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPolice are appealing for information leading to the arrest of Godfrey Karembera (47), popularly known as Madzibaba Eshanduko, and Kudzai Weston Saruwaka, who fled from officers during a high-speed chase while allegedly distributing fliers in Machipisa, Glen View, and Budiriro,\u201d said Commissioner Nyathi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that the two men \u201cface charges under the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, Chapter 9:23.\u201d Authorities allege their actions were linked to unsanctioned protests instigated by fugitive war veteran Blessed Geza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not the first time Karembera, a staunch supporter of former Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa, has encountered legal troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In April of this year, his Guruve home was petrol-bombed by unknown assailants. While Karembera was not present, his 17-year-old son, Laxmore, sustained injuries while rescuing his two younger siblings from the blaze, which destroyed the family property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His history with the law also includes a 2022 arrest in Harare for allegedly calling police officers dogs and for wearing the yellow-coloured clothing that was the theme of the CCC party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police search for the activist continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
