Abducted MDC officials now hospitalized.

Two MDC members, Abel Samakande, the MDC Mutoko East district chairperson and Steven Zenda, the Mutoko East District Organising Secretary have been hospitalised after they were seriously assaulted by Zanu PF thugs in Mbare, Harare today.

Zenda, 36, who was at the Mbare Musika bus terminus on his way to his rural home in Mutoko, was forced out of a bus by Zanu PF youths led by one Hondo before they started assaulting him. They dragged him to a building opposite former Bata Stores at Mbare Musika where other Zanu PF youths were gathered where he was further assaulted with booted feet, buttons and metal rods.

The assault resulted in him sustaining injuries on his head, hands, feet and back.

Zenda was forced to call his superiors to come to Mbare. He contacted his district chairperson, Samakande, 42 who on arrival had his car side window smashed as Zanu PF youths tried to abduct him.

The two were then dragged into the torture base at Mbare Musika, where they were further assaulted. During the assault, two Police Internal Security Intelligence, (PISI) officers arrived, and in the presence of Zanu PF’s Chipangano chairperson and one Hondo, took details of the two before they were released. They reported at Mbare Police Station where a docket was opened but no arrests have been made although the assailants have been identified. The RRB number is; 1217898

The two have since been admitted in hospital.

Zanu PF’s violent Chipangano terror group continues to roam the streets of Mbare, harassing, intimidating and assaulting known MDC activists and supporters but no action is taken against them.
