In an incident witnessed by this paper, the two assaulted men, John Magorokosho and Shame Muzariwetu were openly discussing how the vast mineral wealth in Marange has been plundered by President Mugabe and his wife Grace, together with selected Zanu (PF) top brass, the army generals and the Chinese firms.
This did not go down well with the two CIO officers who told them to change the subject.
Magorokosho said: “This is a democratic country and one is entitled to freedom of expression. We are living in a new Zimbabwe with an inclusive government hence, we are exercising our rights.”
The statement then angered the two officers who ordered the Kombi driver to stop the vehicle at a roadblock at Mutare Teachers College. The two officers then grabbed Magorokosho and Muzariwetu and one of them said: “We want to show you that we are the ones running the affairs of this country. You think you are smart? We want
to teach you a good lesson and you will be a good case study to others.”
The two were assaulted while the police officers manning the roadblock watched.
The CIO officers ordered the kombi to proceed with its journey while they took
Magorokosho and Muzariwetu to a nearby shed. The Zimbabwean does not have information about what happened to the two, but believes that they were taken to the CIO offices at the government complex in the city.
