Eight MDC members have been injured, two vehicles destroyed while two officials are detained at Murombedzi police station following a violent attack by Zanu PF thugs at Murombedzi growth point in Zvimba West.
Hon Tendai Biti, the MDC Secretary General was due to address the rally at midday in the district.
The provincial Vice Youth Chairperson, Maltin Mukusha, who was caught in the violent crossfire said, it was Zanu
PF’s tactic to disrupt the MDC meeting.
“When we got there in the morning, we found the Zanu PF youths already playing soccer in the council ground. We informed the police about this and they said we could still go ahead with our rally as scheduled, but they brought the netball courts and made a makeshift ground close to where we were. But we remained calm and continued to sing our songs. Out of nowhere, the rowdy youth began to throw sand in the air and stones began to rain on us. Our provincial vehicle was damaged and the district chairperson’s vehicle was not spared,”
