Among the victims, said ZimPF in an alert, was Retired Brigadier General Agrippa Mutambara, a senior party member.

Violence broke out when the ruling party gang invaded a subdivision of Dunaventy Farm that is owned by a ZimPF provincial leader, Obert Mutasa.

"Rtd Brig Gen Agrippa Mutambara and other ZimPF supporters were brutally and savagely attacked by axe-wielding Zanu-PF youths who had invaded…Obert Mutasa's plot at Dunaventy Farm in Guruve.

"While Mugabe is talking of UN reforms and threatening to pull Africa out of the UN, his supporters are brutalising opposition political party supporters," read the alert shared by party spokesperson, Jealous Mawarire, on social media.

President Robert Mugabe was recently at a United Nations summit where, as has become the norm, he rapped the world body for failing to reform in order to give developing countries permanent seats.

He claimed that the African Union (AU) was agreed on pulling out of the UN if no substantial reforms were made.

A Landcruiser belonging to Wilbert Mubaiwa, another party member, had its rear windscreen smashed while a Toyota saloon owned by one Manyika was torched by the youths.

Several other members sustained injuries.

ZimPF supporters have suffered repeated Zanu-PF violence over the months.

The opposition party is led by Joice Mujuru, Mugabe's erstwhile deputy who took away many former Zanu-PF leaders when she was expelled in 2015 for allegedly plotting to topple her former boss.
