Opposition MDC Alliance member Nyasha Zhambe Mawere who was allegedly abducted and tortured by suspected Zanu PF thugs during party leader Nelson Chamisa’s tour of Gutu has succumbed to the injuries.
In a statement, the opposition party confirmed the death of Mawere whom it said was tortured by Zanu PF supporters in Gutu, Masvingo Province.
“The MDC Alliance mourns the sad passing of our member, Nyasha Zhambe Mawere.
“He was abducted and severely tortured by Zanu PF thugs after he attended President Nelson Chamisa community leaders’ meeting in Gutu. Political violence must stop. The regime is at war with the people,” read the statement.
Chamisa visited Masvingo Province when he was initiating his countrywide tour meant to mobilise supporters ahead of the 2023 elections. The opposition leader and his supporters who accompanied him faced a backlash when Zanu PF supporters blocked roads and disrupted his meetings.
“Assassination attempts” on opposition officials were also reported and Mawere was one of the victims of alleged abduction and torture.
MDC Alliance Secretary for International relations Gladys Hlatshwayo castigated Zanu PF accusing it of being “evil and cruel”.
“I don’t understand why a human being must die because they support an opposition political party. This is deeply deeply disturbing and yet another reminder of Zanu PF’s cruel, evil and macabre politics. They belong to the Stone Age period. Rest In Peace Nyasha Zhambe Mawere,” she said.
MDC Alliance Treasurer General David Coltart said: “I am distressed to hear that @mdczimbabwe member Nyasha Zhambe Mawere from Gutu has died.
“He was abducted and severely tortured by Zanu PF thugs when he attended President Nelson Chamisa’s tour of Gutu. Zanu PF’s murders of opposition activists continue as they have for 41 years.”
Chamisa himself has since reported an assassination attempt after one of his cars was shot by bullets in Mutare to during his tour of Manicaland Province. Nehanda Radio

Tmrow some they will come and say let’s go and much against sanctions.
Let zanu pf do it because they are the one inviting the sanctions through such evil, devilish acts.
The outside world is very vocal on such evil acts but ZANU don’t see anything wrong about that..
Sanctions are here to stay & Zim will always feel like hell..
Pilot Ka-Masango sanctions are for zanu pf?
Peter Neither u nor MDC pass or amend the constitution that promotes impatient between the political parties, so, UK doesn’t know either of u, why would they impose sanctions on u🤔
Pilot Ka-Masango but do u think these sanctions affect zanu pf or not? Do u think they mind? You dont think zanu pf want these sanctions to stay so that we dont see their fail and also so that they continue to loot??
Peter u may read my comment again cos i put it clear in my last paragraph that there’s no way the ordinary citizens may escape the wrath of the sanctions..
Pilot Ka-Masango no i totally agree with u those are just answered questions
Peter ZANU & the ANC are liberation movements of note but it has been proven that no country will ever prosper under their leadership respectively😢
Pilot Ka-Masango i agree with u there
