As President Chamisa addresses two rallies in Chiredzi Central and Masvingo urban today.

 

Yesterday (12th August 2023), Chiredzi West Zanu-PF and Forever Associates of Zimbabwe (FAZ) members brutally assaulted Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) member, Mr. Elifanos Mupfumba.

He was assaulted at Mafodya Shops in Ward 16, Chiredzi West.

 

Mr. Mupfumba is the former councillor in Ward 18.

 

Zanu-PF and FAZ members beat Mr. Mupfumba with stones and other objects while he was putting up CCC campaign posters.

 

His head was injured along with other parts of his body.

 

He lost consciousness, and CCC members had to pour a lot of water to resuscitate him.

 

They (CCC members) rushed him to Colin Saunders, where he is currently admitted and receiving treatment, said Councillor Gilbert Mutubuki.

 

Councillor Mutubuki said, “We strongly condemn the assault on our CCC member by Chiredzi West Zanu PF and FAZ members a few days before the elections.”

 

Councillor Mutubuki further stated, “We hope the police will arrest these Zanu PF and FAZ thugs who nearly killed Mr. Mupfumba.”

 

If his condition deteriorates, he might be transferred to Harare.

 

Additionally, Zanu-PF and FAZ members smashed CCC vehicles, damaging windows.

 

Zanu PF and FAZ members have been assaulting CCC members, but police officers are not arresting them.

 

Today (13th August 2023), President Nelson Chamisa will address thousands of CCC members at Chishamiso Stadium in Ward 19, Triangle.

 

Initially, the venue was Lowveld Open Grounds, but it was changed later yesterday.

 

The Chiredzi Central rally will start at 9 am.

 

Later today, President Chamisa will address a bumper crowd in Masvingo urban at Mamutse Stadium, Ward 3.
