TWO MDC Alliance activists serving 20-year jail terms each for killing a police officer have accused the opposition party of neglecting them, NewZimbabwe.com reported.
Last Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere were, together with Yvonne Musaraurwa, convicted in September 2016 for the murder of ZRP Inspector Petros Mutedzi in Harare's Glen View area back in 2012.
Musarurwa was released last year after benefiting from a presidential amnesty aimed at easing congestion in the country's prisons.
In an interview at Chikurubi Maximum Prison this Sunday, Maengehama and Madzoke complained that oppositions colleagues had turned their backs on them.
They said not a single party member visited them during the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) Family Week which ended at the weekend.
The only notable visitor was ex-convict Musarurwa.
