Two MDC activists, Perpetua Pedzisai and Tsvakai Muzhambi are battling for their lives at a Mutare hospital after they were severely attacked by Zanu PF supporters on Wednesday in Chipinge, Manicaland province in an attempt to bar them from participating in Copac meetings.
Pedzisai is the Ward 6 organising secretary for Chipinge Central while Muzhambi is a committee member for Ward 16 in Chipinge West. They were attacked in separate incidents on Monday and have since been transferred to a hospital in Mutare.
In Mt Darwin South, Mashonaland Central province, an MDC activist, Chakanetsa Murenga was arrested on Wednesday on trumped-up charges of undermining the President at an MDC internal meeting at Matokwe business centre. Murenga has since been transferred to Bindura Central police station and is expected to appear in court on Friday.
In Chakari, Midlands North province, police are barring MDC officials from holding their meetings in the area claiming they will disturb Copac outreach meetings. On Monday, the police disrupted an MDC ward meeting that was being held by Chakari district chairperson, Moscow Chakabvapasi.
