Stephen Saidi, the MDC–T secretary for Information and Publicity for Bikita South Constituency, said Mavis Shava, an MDC supporter from Musvasva village in ward 8 and another sick party supporter went to Mukore Clinic to seek medication.
It is alleged that the nurse in charge, identified as Martin Mabasa, claimed he was not allowed to work during weekends and public holidays.
Saidi said Shava was bleeding excessively when she was rushed to the Clinic. “Mabasa has been recorded saying he does not treat MDC supporters. He openly told the Musvasva family that he does not work during weekends. In addition he said MDC supporters should seek medical treatment from Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai,” said Saidi. “We have a complicated matter here so we hope JOMIC will resolve it,” said Saidi.
Farai Musvasva from the same ward, who is related to the late Mavis said MDC-T supporters were living in fear. “Our relative passed away because of gross negligence and politicking on the part of Mabasa who has openly declared that he will never attend to MDC supporters,” he said. “We have written several letters to the Ministry of Health but we have not seen any change.”
Mabasa refused to talk to the press, referring all questions to his superiors. Masvingo provincial medical director Robert Mudyiradima said he was not aware of the issue and promised to conduct a thorough investigation.
