Acie Lumumba disappears

Former Zanu-PF activist William Mutumanje also known as Acie Lumumba, who is wanted for questioning on charges of undermining the President as defined in Section 33 (2) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act after he insulted President Mugabe using the 'F' word on Thursday, has gone into hiding.

He uttered the words while launching his party, Viva Zimbabwe, in Harare on Thursday.

Lumumba pronounced himself as chairman of the party saying that Viva Zimbabwe aimed at bringing change in Zimbabwe.

In rantings, Lumumba used the 'F' word to insult the President.

"Mr Mugabe, I guess you have not been really insulted," said Lumumba.

"You are now used to being insulted by protesters. You are used to being insulted by vendors, you are used to being insulted in the hallways.

"You have never seen Zimbabweans really angry. So, here is the red line. Mr President Robert Gabriel Mugabe f*** you."

Sources close to the investigations yesterday said they were keen to question Lumumba over the utterances.

"We have been trying to locate him, but failing. His whereabouts are still not known and we have launched a manhunt for him," said the source.
