Violence reported erupted at a flopped meeting of the MDC-T in St Mary's as party members confronted each other.
Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that on 27 February 2016, MDC-T held a meeting in Ward 4, St Mary's to take care of some party business.
"The meeting failed to commence as the chairperson Jateni "Master" Mangira did not show up. Some of the youths who support Adam Puzo (who is campaigning for the post of MP in 2018) started shouting at current MP Tarusenga (who is also party district chairperson) blaming him for hiding Mangira to sabotage the holding of the meeting,"ZPP reported.
"The issue got out of hand resulting in vice district chairperson, Biggie Chitengu, grabbing Tarusenga by the neck forcing the MP to shrug himself free. Tarusenga confirmed the scuffle adding however that he considered it a very minor incident. He said the meeting could not be held because in addition to Mangira, who is the ward chairperson, not being around, the meeting could not be held because there was no quorum."
