with practicing journalism without accreditation under the repressive

Chibvuri who was arrested
in Plumtree on 3 March 2007 spent two nights in police custody and
was only released on 5 March 2007 when he appeared before a Plumtree
magistrate on charges of contravening Section 83 of AIPPA which
penalises the practice of journalism without accreditation.
At the time of his arrest,
Chibvuri had already applied for accreditation but had not received
a response from the MIC. He has since been duly accredited.
