“President Morgan Tsvangirai today visited the Dzamara family in Glen View in commiseration with their plight following the abduction and disappearance of journalist-cum-activist, Itai Dzamara,” said Tamborinyoka in a statement.
Dzamara was abducted by unknown men in a four wheel drive in Glen View earlier this month while having a haircut.
Despite the courts compelling security departments to search for him, his whereabouts remain unknown.
Tamborinyoka said Tsvangirai met Dzamara’s brother, mother, wife and children “and them the party stood in solidarity with them in this sad hour.”
Tsvangirai urged the family to continue to place their faith in God and narrated how he was abducted in almost similar circumstances and spent three weeks without anyone knowing of his whereabouts several years ago.
Tsvangirai resurfaced at a police station in Harare following a lengthy period of torture and harassment.
The MDC-T leader subsequently visited the hair salon where Dzamara was abducted from and was told by the barber how it happened.
“He (barber) said they stormed the shop, identified themselves as police and accused Dzamara of stock-theft before they handcuffed him and bundled him into their car,” said Tamborinyoka.
Tsvangirai said the MDC held the state culpable and responsible for the abduction.
