NYANGA NORTH - There are tense scenes of a war zone here as groups of Zanu (PF) militia are moving around with weapons in an effort to instil fear in the hearts of MDC supporters.Zanu (PF’s) Hubert Nyanhongo, who is leading the terror campaign, is believed to be supplying arms to the overzealous militia.
The MDC-T Manicaland spokesperson and Makoni South Legislator, Pishai Muchaura, confirmed that there are a number of army bases in the district where most of the weapons were coming from.
Nyanhongo, an aspiring parliamentary candidate for the Nyanga North constituency, is a former Lieutenant Colonel in the army. He is currently the Harare South Member of Parliament. Villagers said Nyanhongo was using his influence to instruct the army
from the nearby All Arms Battle School to supply weapons to his thugs.
“As MDC-T we are appealing to the authorities to disarm these civilians because Zimbabwe is not at war with anyone. This is not a good sign of democracy, Muchauraya said.
The MDC-T in Manicaland has accused Nyanhongo of arming Zanu (PF) thugs to create political volatility in the area.
