SILOBELA - Chief Crispen Malisa has warned that there could be violence targeted at MDC-T supporters and their candidates ahead of elections, following what he termed an attack on his person.
Malisa accused of looting cement and money donated to Zenzele Primary School by a non-governmental organisation, said his subjects were baying for the blood of his accusers, believed to be MDC-T supporters. This follows allegations by ward 25 MDC-T councillor Stanley Ndlovu who accused Malisa of having taken 20 bags of cement which were donated to the school by Plan International towards the construction of a new classroom block.
A livid Malisa denied the allegations, accusing the MDC-T of trying to score cheap political points.
The chief now claims his subjects want to eject the MDC-T out of Silobela.
"I had told my people that we should refrain from violence, but these sad and false allegations by the MDC-T against my person have angered my subjects, it is going to disturb a lot of things," Malisa said.
The chief said he now does not have the power to stop the violence against MDC-T supporters and its candidates because they make dangerous and uninformed allegations against him upsetting the balance of power in Silobela.
