In 1954 Late freedom fighter Hon. Sikota Wina was arrested when he, his brother Arthur Wina, friend Wesley Nyirenda and others, after smartly dressed in suits, deliberately went to one of the restaurants reserved for whites.
Mr Wina was yet again arrested on March 11, 1959 in a general round-up of “suspected subversives”.
