Heal Zimbabwe Trust highlights violence in Bulawayo

Heal Zimbabwe Trusted has highlighted the incidents of political violence that erupted in Bulawayo during the month of October this year among them being the  violence within the MDC-T during the burial of the Nkulumane MP Thamsanqa Manhlangu.

"On the 10th of October at the burial of Thamsanqa Mahlangu (late Nkulumane legislator) MDC-T youths allegedly clashed along factional lines after the party got itself involved in a feud between Mahlangu paternal father's family, the Sangos and his step-father's, the Mugovas, over the funeral and burial processes," reported the trust.

"The party's rival factions allegedly divided themselves among the two families with the grouping linked to deputy president Ms Thokozani Khupe visiting Luveve and the other belonging to former national Organising Secretary Nelson Chamisa going to Nkulumane."

The trust also reported that  on the 1st of October, it received a report that a faction allegedly aligned to Grace Mugabe youths and Vice President Mnangagwa clashed at Davies Hall in Bulawayo leading to Oddy Moyo being assaulted by supposed Vice President Mnangagwa's enthusiasts.

"Moyo is the Provincial Youth Vice Chairperson for Bulawayo. The skirmishes took place after Moyo and others allegedly aligned to Dr Grace Mugabe went to the ruling party's Davies Hall District offices wearing labelled T shirts decorated with pictures of the First Lady and the Late J Nkomo," reported the trust.

"The T-Shirts had a message campaigning for Grace Mugabe labelled "Munhu Wese kuna Amai." Similar clashes also took place in September at the burial of Sikhanyiso Ndlovu at the Heroes Acre in Harare."
