Linda Masarira exposed?

Opposition activist Linda Masarira has been exposed by her colleagues for lying to the public that she was abducted and assaulted by State security agents when in fact she was bashed by her boyfriend.

After the humiliating exposé, Masarira yesterday backtracked saying she never said she was assaulted by State security agents.

She had claimed that she was assaulted by unknown assailants on January 13 and that her colleagues were trying to do a smear campaign against her.

After the alleged assault, grisly pictures of Masarira were posted on Facebook and Twitter before she filmed herself thanking God for being alive.

One of Masarira's close associates, Pride Mkono accused Masarira of lying that the Zimbabwe National Students Union secretary-general Makomborero Haruzivishe, the alleged boyfriend who bashed her, had also gone missing.
