He was arrested at Robert Mugabe Airport in March on his flight from Namibia.Joana Mamombe was also arrested with the same charge whilst in Vumba.

Hwende said he was issued with a diplomatic passport in September last year when he was appointed by SROC of Parliament to be the Chairperson of the ICT Portfolio Committee

This position required him to travel out of the country representing Parliament , but since his passport was seized it he had to pause his business trips.

Charlton Hwende is the MDC General Secretary and Member Of Parliament for Kuwadzana East Constituency
