The MDC-T Muzarabani ward 17 Chairperson Samson Chinziro was recently seriously assaulted by members of the ruling Zanu PF accusing him of mobilising support for his party.
Heal Zimbabwe Trust reported that on 2 October 2016, Samson Chinziro, MDC-T ward chairperson was assaulted by Zanu PF members who were led by Sibion Manzizi. On the day, Chinziro had visited a relative in ward 2.
"On his way back to his house in ward 17, Chinziro passed through a road adjacent to where Zanu PF youths were camped. When the youths saw Chinziro, they called him to where they were. Upon arrival, the Zanu PF youths started hurling insults at him accusing him of mobilising community members every time there is an MDC-T meeting in the area. When Chinziro tried to flee, Manzizi threw a stone that hit him on the forehead," said the trust.
"Chinziro sustained a serious cut on his forehead. Chinziro was assisted by villagers who intervened and rescued him. The case was reported at Hoya police station but Manzizi is yet to be arrested as he is now on the run."
