Pedzisai Ruhanya speaks on Hopwell Chin'ono case.

In an interview with SABC, Pedzisai said, the government didn't change, it is only the appearance of the president that changed. He said the removal of the former president was a change of guard, not a change of institutions.  He claimed that the police had no right to search Hopwell's property without the court's order. He also said that Journalism is not a crime. Neither Hopewell and Jacob Ngarivhume are criminals.
