Heal Zimbabwe Trust has condemned the destruction of Insangu Village head Enerst Nxumalo's home in Insiza by Zanu PF thugs following the land dispute in Matebeleland South.

Zanu PF supporters under the leadership of Zanu PF District Chairman Sam Mathe, teacher at a local primary school and Edith Gumbo the councillor for ward 22  on the 11th of June 2017 destroyed Nxumalo's home.

"The victim is a village head in Insangu Village under Chief Jahana. The house was burnt soon after Nxumalo was appointed a village head by Chief Johana. The perpetrators accuse Chief Johana of being an MDC T supporter which they allege informed his choice of village head Nxumalo whom they also accuse of being a staunch MDC T activist," said the trust.

"Nxumalo's 13 year old son was also stabbed during the attack and was admitted at Mpilo hospital in Bulawayo. The skirmishes left the victim's 70 year old mother homeless as she was the one staying at the homestead. The matter was reported to Fort Rixon police station but no arrests have been made to date."
