Zanu-PF activists in Chirinda area, Maramba-Pfungwe burnt down Florence Kavhayi's house. Kavhayi is the MDC Women's Assembly Secretary for Security and Defence in Mashonaland East Province.
According to Mai Kavhayi, this was her only remaining shelter after her entire homestead was burnt down by Zanu-PF hooligans during the run up to the sham 27 June 2008 presidential election.
She reported the new arson attack at Mtawatawa Police Station and a docket with RRB No. 074048 was opened. However, no arrests have been made although the culprits have been identified.
The culprits have been identified as Cleopas Kufuka, the Zanu-PF District Co-ordinating Committee (DCC) chairperson, Khumbula Kurarama, a village neighbourhood watch committee member, David Dizha, the local village head, Forbes Nhongo, the Zanu-PF branch chairperson and Miriro Zisengwe, the Zanu-PF youth chairperson.
Since 2008, threats on Mai Kavhayi's life have intensified.
Cases of politically motivated violence have been on the increase across the country with the police failing to apprehend the known Zanu-PF perpetrators, while detaining and persecuting MDC members despite calls by their leader to end violence.
