ZANU PF out of ideas.... as they arrest Deputy Youth President

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 31^st 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.

Missing in action but the struggle continues

The Youth Real Change team will this weekend continue walking the last half mile in the absence of incarcerated leader Solomon Madzore.

The team will break in to three groups on the 10th of May with the 1^st group heading southwards to address a rally at Mupandawana growth point in Gutu Central while the other one will head to Mashonaland  where they will address a last half mile youth rally in Macheke .

The final team is expected to grace a soccer tournament Soccer Tourney which will take place at Trojan mine grounds in Mashonaland Central in the bid to increase the party visibility at grassroots level.

On the 11^th of May the Assembly leadership will support a district rally to be held at Strata Haven shops where thousands are expected to throng the centre to support the real change act.

Meanwhile the police has became an obstacle to the offensive drive after they refused to clear Youth Real Change rally which was intended for Harare West’s Tom Grounds on the 12^th of May therefore spoiling the spicing up of the weekend. The police refused clearance saying they will be a ZANU PF event during the same dayin the area.

The police force are on record for the wrong reasons they have decided to make themselves a ZANUPF repressive machinery and looks like they are indirectly declaring themselves an enemy of the Assembly starting from the arrest the Assembly President and other youths activists under trumped up charges.

Madzore was arrested on 2 May on false allegations of  insulting the president during a pre-election rally in Mbire, Mashonaland Central province.Prosecutors have used a contentious appeal law to block a court ordering his release on $100 bail.

 The Assembly views Madzore's arrest as a sign of desperation by Zanu-PF,  it is just the last kicks of a dying horse".
