“We are prepared to tolerate dissenting views,” he said. “But then they grew more and more noisy and disruptive. They were photographing everybody with their cell-phones and then ended up assaulting the vice chair, Kumbirayi Machekanyanga, when he said that Robert Mugabe had destroyed Zimbabwe.”
Masawi later discovered that the leader of the group was one Felix Nyamayaro, of 251 Deans Road in Wolverhampton.
“I was surprised to learn that a lot of people in Wolverhampton know that he a Zanu (PF) agent working for the CIO,” said Masawi.
The thugs pushed, dragged and verbally assaulted Machekanyanga severely.
“If it not been for the timely intervention of the owner of that place and his security officers, my deputy might have been hurt badly, if not killed,” said a distressed Masawi. The treasurer, Theresa Sande Daniels, was also harassed and threatened and told not to be associated with MDC at all, or she would face the consequences.
The matter was reported to the local police who are investigating the case.
During the days following the meeting, several people began to receive offensive text messages about the branch. Some of the messages read:
“MDC Wolverhampton Musangano wemahure”, “MDC Wolverhampton. A good cause overtaken by prostitutes. Who would want to see his proper wife there honestly,” “Sexy Wolverhampton MDC destroys families. Pass it on.”
This also has been reported to the police.
Masawi said the organising secretary, Judith Mutsvairo, also received threatening messages from Nyamayaro telling her not to be involved with the MDC Wolverhampton.
“What really disgust me is that most of our members are refugees who are running away from persecution from Zanu (PF) agents in Zimbabwe have now been followed to the UK. When will this barbaric, inhuman behaviour of Zanu (PF) ever end?” said Masawi.
