A Zanu-PF official has reportedly claimed that the opposition Movement for Democratic Change was responsible for Itai Dzamara's disappearance, adding that the activist was somewhere "enjoying life".
Dzamara, a father of two, was allegedly abducted by five men who stormed a barbershop in Glenview, Harare, while he was having a haircut on March 9.
The former journalist had been staging protests in Harare's Africa Unity Square calling on long-time leader President Robert Mugabe to step down.
According to New Zimbabwe.com, Zanu-PF's Masvingo provincial chairperson, Paradzai Chakona told journalists at the weekend that the MDC was holding Dzamara in a bid to drum up financial support from the West.
Chakona said the fact that Dzamara's disappearance took place at the same time that MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai travelled to the United States could not be dismissed as mere coincidence.
