MDC MP abducted outside High court in Harare

Onlookers said they saw Nemadziwa being bundled into the back of a waiting car and driven away, after he became involved in an argument with a group of six men.The incident, in full view of shocked passers-by, took place just after the MP had emerged from the court to hear an electoral petition filed by Joseph
Chinotimba, the losing Zanu-PF candidate in the Buhera South constituency.
 
Pishai Muchauraya, MDC MP for Makoni South in the province, said they were able to identify one of his abductors as Zimbabwe National Army Colonel Morgan Mzilikazi. The army officer, together with Chinotimba, have been involved in an unholy alliance of post elections violence against MDC activists in Buhera.
 
‘We have positive identification that one of them was Colonel Mzilikazi. We also have information that Chinotimba connived with the group in the abduction of the MP,’ Muchauraya said.The MDC is reliably informed that Nemadziwa was driven overnight, after the abduction, to a police station in rural Buhera.
 
‘We have instructed our lawyers to visit Muzikomba police station were he’s being held. Since he beat Chinotimba in the parliamentary elections,Nemadziwa has been hunted down like a fugitive. This is wrong, Zanu-PF should act to stop this madness,’ Muchauraya added.
 
Zanu-PF militia have been terrorising residents in Harare and Bulawayo in the last few days, beating up people for not voting for Mugabe in the one-man presidential election vote last week Friday.
