A Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) member identified has died following an attack by a group of suspected ZANU PF activists in Harare, NewsDay has learned.
According to CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere, a group of ‘thugs’ ambushed their youth members, who were heading to a rally in Harare’s Glen View high density suburb on Thursday.
“We strongly condemn the violent attack by suspected Zanu PF thugs on our members in Glen View 7 today,” Mahere said
“They assaulted and stoned our members, who were peacefully heading to a rally.
“One of our members was murdered in the violent orgy. We demand peace and justice.”
Zimbabwe is three weeks away with a general election scheduled for August 23.
During the build-up to the watershed poll, opposition political parties and CCC in particular have been increasingly complaining about attacks and intimidation of their supporters by Zanu PF party activists.
