Police in Marondera are reported to have summoned four Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activists following violence that erupted in Nyatsime, Beatrice last week Tuesday.
The violence erupted at the memorial service of slain CCC activist, Moreblessing Ali and spread into the neighbouring homes.
According to the main CCC party which is led by Nelson Chamisa, the four, Misheck Guzha, Audious Makoma, Precious Jeche and Felix Biri have been summoned by Marondera police’s Law and Order division. The party said in a statement on Sunday:
CCC champions Misheck Guzha, Audious Makoma, Precious Jeche & Felix Biri have been summoned to attend at Law & Order Marondera. Their homes were burnt by Zanu PF thugs following the memorial prayer service for Moreblessing Ali who was murdered in cold blood by Zanu PF.
Meanwhile, ZANU PF claims that CCC some activists burnt the homes of ruling party supporters. Witnesses said this was after ZANU PF officials had blocked CCC supporters from attending the memorial service of their colleague where Chamisa was the main speaker.
Ali’s suspected killer Pias Mukandi alias Jamba was brought to court last week and remanded in custody.
Presiding over the burial of Major General Rtd Sydney Bhebe this Monday, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said the violence was staged to tarnish the country’s image.
