The CCC party’s election agents who were targeted in the attack include Mr. Tizirayi Gwauya from ward 24. He resides at Museva shopping center.
“I can confirm that Zanu-PF members attacked me. I feel intimidated by their actions and they even threatened to burn down my house,” stated Mr. Gwauya.
Lisas Murambiwa, a CCC aspiring councillor for ward 24 in Chivi South, strongly condemned the intimidation and assault on Mr. Gwauya.
In another incident, Zanu-PF members in ward 24 of Chivi South also attacked the residence of Mr. Willymore Gwarinda, who serves as a CCC election agent.
Narrating the incident, Mr. Gwarimba said, “Last night, around 11:00 PM, Zanu-PF members attacked my house and vandalized the windows. I am deeply saddened by their actions.”
It is alleged that the Zanu-PF members in Chivi South are attempting to manipulate the upcoming elections. To achieve their objectives, they are resorting to intimidation, escalating violence, and causing damage to CCC properties, claimed Mr. Makore Hungwe, a member of CCC.
