The Zanu (PF) activist attacked Tonderai Ground, who is member of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirais MDC party, at Gokwe rural business center apparently revenge for an incident that happened two years ago.
The Zanu (PF) pair, Siyaseni Chatemera and Tawanda Kukama, accused Ground of causing their arrest in 2008 for committing political violence. The two were arrested in 2008 after they assaulted Ground.
According to the MDC, Gokwe police have since launched a manhunt for the two youths.
The MDC also reported last Wednesday that one of the partys supporters in Odzi, Mutare North constituency, has been evicted from Shemara Farm by a self-styled war veteran, Lameck Kutsava.
Bond Godzi and his family were apparently evicted because he was too vocal during a constitutional outreach meeting held at Odzi Country Club the previous week.
At the same time in Mwenezi, Masvingo province, the MDC said Chief Chitanga has destroyed a 400-hectare winter maize crop at Makume Ranch accusing the owners of being MDC supporters.
