According to the party’s deputy Spokesperson Kurauone Chihwai the seven are Terence Majakwara, Alex Mashuro, Masiye Kambewa, Sydney Ndoro, Zvomuya Masiya, Tichaona Masamha and Innocent Gwara.
Chihwai said the perpetrators confiscated 39 recruitment forms and 43 party cards belonging to the party.
The case was reported to Makoni Police station.
The MDC deputy spokes person said: “The MDC is disturbed by the re-emergence of violence in the country ahead of elections that are scheduled to be held next year. We wish to make it clear that we are treating this issue seriously and we are taking the issue up with the guarantors of the GPA and the facilitator.
As a party we condemn in strongest terms those who when politically outwitted fair and square then resort to violence. As a party we want to make it known that the perpetrators of these diabolic acts will be surely brought to account for their actions in a just and a fair Zimbabwe which is on the horizon,”Chihwai said,“ The MDC leadership will not give in to intimidation but will continue with the struggle for democracy in Zimbabwe, no amount of abuse and threats of murder will derail the struggle for a just and a fair Zimbabwe”.
TheZimbabwean failed to get a comment from Makoni police station because of failing land line telephones.
The alleged attacks on MDC officials came a few hours after President Robert Mugabe discouraged political violence at the official opening of the 5th session of the seventh parliament.
