Moswaane and his co-accused were arrested by the police on Friday for allegedly illegally assembling along the Selous Avenue without having sought permission to do so. The prosecution says the MP and his co-accused disturbed the flow of traffic along the busy road. Moswaane, who was represented by attorney Aobakwe Monamo, and his co-accused were granted bail on condition that they appear in court as and when required to do so and not interfere with State witnesses. According to the prosecution, there is a possibility that the accused may be charged with common nuisance. State attorney, Moffat Dick, said the date of status hearing in the matter has not been set because investigations in the matter are still continuing.
On Friday Moswaane and some of the City of Francistwon Council (COFC) nominated councillors, Gilbert Boikhutso and Otsile Moses participated in a demonstration along the Haskins Street, also known as the Bulawayo Street. Some of the local transport operators, street traders, and members of the Central Flea Market associations joined the local leaders in their demonstration across the street against Zimbabweans who they allege are taking away their economic chances. Using a vehicle and a minibus, the petitioners blocked a section of the Francistown-Ramokgwebana border road. Before being arrested by the police, Moswaane addressed the petitioners and vowed that he would not allow Zimbabweans to take over business that should belong to Batswana. He stated that certain police officers were in collusion with Zimbabweans who carry passengers and their belongings across the border. Moswaane added that the corrupt officials are the reason why Zimbabweans continue to roam around as street sellers and truck drivers to delivery products at the border. "I'm going to stand up for the rights of our people,” he shouted. "I am being arrested because of the corrupt officers who are making deals with the same foreigners," he said as he was led to a police van.
