Zimbabwe’s labour body, the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), says five members of its General Council were arrested earlier this week and released on Wednesday after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) declined to prosecute them. The reports say the NPA’s decision means the arrested council members do not face prosecution in the matter that led to their detention. ZCTU also describes the arrests in the context of an ongoing internal leadership dispute within the union. One outlet notes the situation follows recent actions involving the ZCTU Secretary-General, including a suspension reported last week, indicating heightened tensions within the organization. Both sources agree on the key sequence of events: arrests occur, the NPA subsequently declines to prosecute, and the detained ZCTU General Council members are released. The coverage focuses on the labour body’s reaction and the prosecutorial decision, without detailing specific allegations against the council members in the provided summaries.
