Some members of the Zimbabwe National Army reportedly abused a worker at a farm, which was formerly owned by former MDC legislator for Chimanimani Roy Bennet.
Zimbabwe Peace Project in its latest report reported that in Chimanimani East ward 12, a team of soldiers stationed at Charleswood summoned one Magocha who used to be a worker on the farm under ARDA and allegedly asked him a number of questions he failed to answer to their satisfaction.
"It is alleged that they then accused him of stealing some farm equipment which was left by Roy Bennett who used to own and run the farm before he was kicked out. They allegedly accused of Magocha of running down the farm. Thereafter it is alleged he was physically assaulted by the soldiers using sticks and clubs," reported ZPP.
"After the alleged physical assault, it was then said he was forced to exhume human manure from a disused blair toilet on the farm compound. He is said to have suffered some injuries which forced him to seek medical attention at Mutambara Hospital."
