Murinye arrived at Chikarudzo business centre, where thousands of villagers were receiving food aid, clad in his traditional regalia and ordered an immediate stop until certain issues are ironed out. He was not allowed to finish his speech as hungry villagers started assaulting him before he rushed to his Mazda B18 truck and drove off. He refused to speak to RadioVop saying whatever happened had completely nothing to do with the press.
You are a journalist not a traditional leader, what kind of a solution do you want to give us? Its better you concentrate on other things rather than keep phoning for issues which do not have anything to do with you, said Murinye. However, villagers said they were tired of traditional leaders who chase away donors leaving them without anyone to help them with relief food.
Officials from Care International who were at Chikarudzo business center said they were too junior to speak to the press.
