Mazambani, 32, was abducted from his home by a white Nissan pick-up truck, believed to belong to the wife of Finance minister Samuel Mumbengegwi. The six soldiers abducted Mazambani and three others and took them to Eastdale Farm, an Airforce base, between Gutu and Chivhu.
Mazambani was this week on a dialysis machine when The Zimbabwean visited him. He could not speak or eat. He has deep soft tissue bruising on the back, especially the buttocks (see photo). His kidneys are damaged and he has clots on the lungs.
