My husband answered the door, and they asked him if he was an MDC member. He said yes, and they said "You are the most important, so we want to deal with you". There were only three of us in the house. They beat him between the legs with an iron bar. The neighbours came to see what had happened, and the men disappeared. We went to MDC members to tell them what had happened. They gave him money to go to hospital, but he still hasn’t been able to get any medicine. Last night some Zanu (PF) members came to me and asked me where my husband was. They said " We are Zanu (PF) members, and we want your husband. Where is he?" I said that he was staying far away, but he’s really in Budiriro where the members are staying. The told me to open the door, but I refused, saying that they would hit me. They stayed for 5 minutes, demanding to know where he was, and then they left. There were four of them, but I don’t know where they were from. TOP |
