CCC Supporter Murdered At Kwekwe Rally Named

The Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) supporter who was killed during a rally in Kwekwe on Sunday afternoon has been identified as Mboneni Ncube of House Number 917/19 Mbizo, Kwekwe, a male aged 35.

According to CCC national spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere, Ncube was attacked with a spear and murdered by ZANU PF activists during a campaign rally at Mbizo 4 Shopping Centre in the Midlands town. Said Mahere:

A dark cloud hangs over us as we mount the sad loss of Mboneni Ncube (35, male) who was attacked with a spear and murdered in broad daylight in Kwekwe yesterday by ZANU PF thugs.

His only crime was to believe in a brighter Zimbabwe where all are free.

Reports indicate that stone-throwing thugs armed with machetes stormed the rally while CCC leader Nelson Chamisa was addressing his supporters.

Chamisa calmly told party supporters not to run away. The CCC youths swiftly fought back and subdued the attackers.

This incident comes a day after Vice President Constantino Chiwenga said it’s a matter of time before ZANU PF crushes the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) “like lice” to prevent the opposition party from winning elections and attaining control of the State.

Chiwenga made the remarks while addressing ZANU PF supporters at a campaign rally in Kwekwe at Mbizo Stadium on Saturday.
