Zanu-PF condemns Davies Hall violence

Zanu PF national spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo has vowed strict action on party thugs who stabbed and assaulted other members in Bulawayo on Sunday.

Violence broke out on Sunday at Davis Hall during a provincial coordinating committee meeting.

"We are still waiting for a report then we will act.

" We don't condone violence at all. Whoever is involved the law will take its course.

" We have rules as a party, and we have disciplinary committees at all levels and that I can assure you, appropriate action will be taken," he said.

The violent clashes saw provincial youth league Chairperson Anna Mokgohloa assaulted by alleged war veterans while Bulawayo Central District chairperson Magura Charumbira was stabbed in the head and face.

MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu said intra-party violence in Zanu PF is not surprising as it is part of the party's ways of operation.

"Zanu is and has always been a violent political party.

" We are not surprised by the intra-party violence that took place in Bulawayo at the weekend.

"Violence is part and parcel of Zanu DNA, and we wonder if they are this violent to themselves, then you can imagine how violent they can be to other competing political parties?" said Gutu.
