The opposition CCC has blamed the Government for the alleged abduction and torture of one of its newly-elected councillors in Harare on Saturday night.

Posting on social media site X, CCC said Glen Norah councillor, Womberaishe Nhende was abducted, tortured, drugged, and dumped in Mapinga, Mashonaland West Province. Reads the post:

…our Glen Norah councilor, Womberaishe Nhende… was abducted, tortured, drugged, and dumped in Mapinga by the Harare regime. His only “crime” is being a member of CCC.

The panic displayed by the Harare regime is indicative of their knowledge that they did not win the 2023 election.

According to Change Radio, Nhende’s assailants used two vehicles, a brown Toyota Fortuner and a silver Toyota Belta. It said:

CCC youth leader Womberai Nhende and one other individual were abducted at around 10 PM yesterday.

The assailants used two vehicles: a brown Toyota Fortuner and a silver Toyota Belta.

They were severely assaulted, injected with an unknown substance, and later dumped in Mapinga. The regime has no shame.

This comes after another CCC activist, Nelson Mukwenha, was allegedly abducted by suspected State security agents on 26 August.

According to Amnesty International, on 26 August 2023, Mukwenha was part of a crowd of people that prevented suspected security officials from abducting Promise Mkwananzi, spokesperson of the CCC, during a press conference in Harare.

Later that evening, Mukwenha was reportedly picked up by suspected security officials at his home in Highfields, Harare.

Mukwenha was then tortured and dumped in a forest in Mapinga.
