'Zanuphobia' escalates

Limping and with tears flowing down their cheeks, injured workers at Temba Mliswa's farm in Karoi, described how they were beaten and undressed for the simple reason of working for the former Zanu-PF legislator.

As the June 10 by-elections draw nearer, political temperatures have been rising particularly in Hurungwe West, a constituency where Mliswa is set to lock horns with Keith Guzah- the Zanu-PF candidate.

Drawing comparison between their suffering in Hurungwe with the recent xenophobic attacks in neighbouring South Africa- Mliswa now calls the latest clampdown Zanuphobia.
