The war veterans led by one Micah Jerera went to the business centre where the MDC-T Youth committee was addressing party supporters and disturbed proceedings leading to the clashes that resulted in the injury of MDC supporters. This resulted in two youth committee members Nyasha Madhodha and Forget Hlomani being arrested and detained for two nights at Chisumbanje Police Station.
The two who were thoroughly assaulted were rushed to St Peters Mission Hospital at Checheche Growth point. Wedzerai Gwenzi said that medical staff at the hospital refused to give medical attention to the injured members. Chipinge South vice chairperson, Wedzerai Gwenzi said that police followed up on the two at the hospital and took them to the police station where they were detained.
The war veterans and Zanu PF thugs led by one Micah Jerera are said to have disturbed a peaceful meeting and this is not the first time such an instance has happened. War veterans have since 2000 been known for taking the law into their hands without actions of the state security.
The incident has left villagers scared as they have been reawakened to the tragic memories of June 27 2008.
It is shocking that the injured victims were the ones arrested instead of the perpetrators. The two had to spend a night at Chisumbanje police station before they were released.
