We were shocked when Madhaka and his other Zanu (PF) colleagues, Obey Moyo and Lovemore Machiya, ordered everybody who had attended the celebrations to denounce the Prime Minister and call him a sell out, said a villager, Tommy Zhou, who attended the meeting.
Another villager, Cedric Hove, said: Madhaka acts as if he owns everybody in Mataruse area. Its high time this guy be stopped.At the meeting, a village headman was chased away by Madhaka and his Zanu (PF) thugs for refusing to denounce MDC.
