Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere was Friday issued with a warrant of arrest by Harare magistrate Taurai Manuwere.

This was after Mahere skipped court to meet former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in New York, in the United States.

Mahere, a pioneer fellow of the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf initiative, attended the Presidential Centre for Wen Development strategic review session that was scheduled for September 14 and 15 in New York City.

Magistrate Manuwere said Mahere knew very well that she was supposed to be in court.

Mahere is expected to appear in court on September 30, where her ruling is expected to be delivered on the charge of communicating falsehoods in an incident in which a police officer had allegedly beaten up a mother and injured her baby.
