Harare - Movement for Democratic Change follower Chrispen Mandizvidza was murdered by Zanu (PF) thugs at the weekend. MDC-T spokesman Nelson Chamisa “We have noted with concern the militarisation of the process, interfering with a purely civilian process. Reports from sall over the country show the heavy involvement of the military in the process,” Tsvangirai said.
Details of Mandizvidza’s death were not immediately available, with reports suggesting that he was shot at point blank range by an intelligence officer in Mbare on Saturday when an altercation occurred between Zanu (PF) and MDC-T supporters at Mai Musodzi Hall just before an outreach meeting began. Apparently, Zanu (PF) supporters were trying to eject MDC-T members from the meeting when a confrontation happened.
A visibly angry Tsvangirai, flanked by his deputy Thokozani Khupe and senior party officials, said he was going to meet Mugabe over the issue as soon as he retuirned from UN meetings in New York.
