Contents « BulawayoHarare Violence against opposition party office bearers and supporters « Case index « Prev case Next case » Case 3: MufakoseMy husband is an official in the MDC. Right now my husband is under the blankets at home. I’m afraid they might take my daughter when she boards the bus to school. She is 13 years old. They have already taken a boy away to ask him where his father was. They released him, but imagine if it was a girl. It was the MDC chairman’s son who was taken. They say they have a list and are going door to door following that. That day, after less than 30 minutes, Sabina Thembani’s car came and went away. About 8:00 pm, a government car came and parked by my gate. I saw that car. It waited 10 minutes and it went away. I went to see. Maybe they wanted to see if he was there. Those people are always moving with Sabina, going door to door. They went to the MDC chairman’s house and destroyed that and assaulted his wife. There’s another guy in Aspindale who appeared on the BBC. After that they told him to leave. His wife, family, and boss at work told him to move away to save his life. Most people come to our place, youth, and women. Sabina Thembani is using a gang of thieves and thugs in Mufakose: Amon, Chimombe, Farai, Cobra, David Bachelors, Richard Kaphumbata, Manyebo, Chaplin, Bany Marokora. TOP |
