There was havoc at the Media Centre in Harare where Kudzanai Mashumba who claimed to be one of the founders of the MDC was manhandled just before addressing the media by MDC-T youths led by Yvonne Musarurwa.
The violent opposition officials were chanting “urimunhu waChamisa ibvapano (you belong to Chamisa)” while they attacked him physically.
Mashumba was set to address a media conference on the subject: “Mwonzora’s mismanagement of MDC-T and imminent split of the party”
Musarurwa stormed the meeting room together with more than 15 youths who appeared drunk and began shouting that Mashumba must be assaulted.
Mashamba sped out of the building and straight onto the back of a moving truck to escape the MDC-T youths who marched in to start the violence.
This comes at a time when Mwonzora is being embroiled in corruption allegations with the recent one being MDC-T activist Patson Murimoga’s push for party members to demonstrate against him and compel him to account for over ZWL 6 million which he allegedly stole from party coffers.
Murimoga has since lodged a complaint with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) and urged it to investigate why police have not yet arrested Mwonzora for the theft of the $6 million despite overwhelming evidence against him.
There is also speculation about squabbles between Mwonzora and his deputy, Thokozani Khupe since the MDC-T extraordinary congress held in December last year degenerated into a charade as thugs assaulted her.
This happened after Khupe who contested the party’s presidency attempted to call off the election in the middle of the process claiming there was massive vote-rigging allegedly orchestrated by then Secretary-General Mwonzora.
Musarurwa is one of the three MDC-T activists who were serving a 20-year jail term for allegedly killing a Harare police Inspector Petros Mutedza in 2011. She was granted amnesty by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2018.
After her release, she joined the MDC ‘s smaller faction, the MDC-T, and worked against the main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa.
Co-accused persons in the case were Last Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere who were in June this year freed by the Supreme Court after languishing in prison for an effective five years. Maengahama and Madzokere are still with Chamisa. Nehanda Radio
what kind of a headline is this. This is unprofessional Nehanda Radio. please observe some gender sensitive journalism practices.
Nyasha Sengayi is she not a murder convict who was pardoned??. Zvainzi akanyeperwa kuti aita crime but her behaviour today left me wondering . Clearly she hasnt reformed
Balance me here. Gender yapinda papi apa. Twumwe tumavara twamava kungonhonga along the way itwu. Gore rino tichanzwirira
Nyasha Sengayi aaah ko mukuti munoziva zvinoreva gender sensitivity imi or mangonakirwa nekukandwa word chete coz apparently there’s nothing that is gender shaming on the headline at all
Kkkkk mukati makakwana here nhai mainini
Nyasha Sengayi shame
Nyasha Sengayi it’s the truth chanyorwa apa. Warwadziwa nei
Musarurwa makamubudisirei mujeri mudzoserei anotiurai munhu takatarisa
Would the story be different without his history on the headline?
Culture of violence must not be tolerated , this is bad sure i saw Yvonne leading a battalion of young people who bashed this man just co he wanted to address media ,
I think this man has a right to freedom of expression, i thought as name suggests , Movement for Democratic, simple means they are advocates for democracy, Lets shun violence
If it was mdca vasungwa kare
With what i saw today,,, she indeed is a convict
So if she slaps that poor man and he falls down dead she is back in prison with the whole world watching🤔😂😂
