Chief unleashes youth on villagers in bid to block MDC-T rally

Chief Mupungu in Chipinge ward 28 has been accused of mobilising youth to intimidate villagers who wanted to attend the opposition MDC-T rally in the area.

Heal Zimbabwe Trust reported that on 2 October 2016, Chief Mupungu sent out youths to move around in the ward threatening people who were supposed to attend an MDC-T meeting that was called for at Mahlayeya ward centre on 3 October 2016.

"The youths warned people that if they attend any opposition meetings in the area, they risked being removed from food aid beneficiaries lists," said the trust.
