Zanu-PF youths manhandle Dep. Minister, accuse him of denigrating Kudzai Chipanga

Zanu-PF youths in Mutare allegedly manhandled Deputy Minister of Local Government, Public Works, and National Housing Christopher Chingosho. The minister had accused youth leader Kudzai Chipanga of de-campaigning him in Headlands. The youths wanted to beat up Chingosho for allegedly denigrating Chipanga. The minister was pushed and shoved and was only saved from a beating by Dangamvura/Chikanga legislator Esau Mupfumi.

Said Manicaland youth chairperson, Mubuso Chinguno:

We could not just stand akimbo and watch as our youth leader was being attacked. He [Chingosho] was lying. That is why youths wanted to beat him,

Chipanga has his own constituency [Makoni West], so why would he de-campaign him in Headlands?

Chingosho said:

I was not surprised by their actions today because the youths are trying to protect people who co-opted them. Kudzi Chipanga is de-campaigning me in my Headlands constituency and that is not good.
