r discussion was, ‘Are the 2008 elections a panacea to the crisis in Zimbabwe?’
According to sources, CIO agents and police stopped the meeting as Tekere was criticising the MDC for joining hands with Zanu (PF) on the 18th Amendment.
“He reminded people of the Matabeleland massacres, the Rashiwe Guzha disappearance, and the severe beatings of MDC official Grace Kwinje and other top leaders such as Morgan Tsvangirai, Nelson Chamisa and Sekai Holland at the hands of Zanu (PF),” said a participant.
Both Tekere and Mutume were unavailable for a comment when CAJ News called on Saturday. Police refused to comment on the matter. About 150 people had turned up for the
meeting.
