Five leaders of Tanzania’s main opposition Chadema party have been released on bail after being questioned. They are now required to report back to the police on Thursday 1 September, the day their party is planning to hold countrywide demonstrations. Among those arrested was Chadema’s presidential candidate last year, Edward Lowassa – the main challenger to President John Magufuli who won the poll. It was not immediately clear why they were arrested, but speaking to the BBC Swahili’s Dira ya Dunia programme, Chadema official Peter Msigwa said they had discuss plans for Thursday at a meeting. This directly defies a police order that bans such gatherings. Africa highlights: Monday 29 August 2016, as it happened - BBC News
