Collen Machikopa, the MDC-T youth organising secretary for Chimanimani West constituency is reported to have fled his home after being attacked by suspected Zanu-PF supporters.
Machikopa fled his Bvumbura home on Sunday night and sought refuge at another party member's homestead in Chimanimani East Constituency.
According to 'The Daily News' on Today, Machikopa was haunted out of his home by a group of Zanu-PF activists led by one Pierson Chikavhanga who is understood to be the party's information and publicity secretary.
Chikavhanga and six unidentified Zanu-PF youths besieged Machikopa's home accusing him of having led to his 2005 arrest over an assault case.
Maguta said he and Machikopa made a report at Nedziwa police but were referred back to Shinja where the offence was alleged to have been committed.
Police in Mutare said they did not have such a report in their records.
