MDC Youth Assembly
deputy President and candidate for Budiriro constituency Costa Machingauta has
been arrested and is currently detained at Harare Central Police Station.
The deputy youth
president was chased all the way from Budiriro into town by suspected ZANU PF hooligans.
The suspects shot the rear left tyre of his vehicle near Nazareth Hospital.
Machingauta managed to control the car and drove to Harvest House. He then went
to report the matter at Harare Central Police station where he was surprisingly
locked up on false allegations of having assaulted members of the former ruling
party.
The police have also
arrested two other members of the MDC from Budiriro. The two are currently
being held at Glen View police station. They were arrested by police officers in
Budiriro while putting up Machingauta’s posters.
There has been an
upsurge of politically motivated violence and intimidation following the
proclamation of the harmonized elections scheduled for the 31st of
July 2013.
ZANU PF has run out of
ideas and programs as annunciated by their dry and primitive manifesto. They now
resort to the old fashioned way of campaigning, instilling fear in people.

people of Zimbabwe
