Tawona Shadaya Knight, a prominent Zimbabwean social media personality and self-proclaimed anti-feminist, who has made waves with his controversial views on masculinity and gender roles, says his life is in danger.
Shadaya has pleaded with the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to investigate what he said are threats to his life.
Posting on his X page, Shadaya said he and his family have been receiving constant threats over the past week.
Initially dismissing them as pranks, he became alarmed when friends and family reported unidentified individuals inquiring about his routine and location. The threats have escalated to the point where he is now considered “wanted”. He wrote:
<blockquote>
[Zimbabwe Republic Police] I greatly require your assistance. Normally I wouldn’t bring such issues out on public platforms as they can be misinterpreted, but I have no other option. I have been getting constant threats on my life and family as well for the past week.
I ignored it initially as pranks but when I started getting messages from family and friends about unidentified people asking about my routine, location and other information, I had to take it seriously
My family and friends are very worried about my safety, constantly getting messages and even in-person threats that “I’m wanted”.
To my knowledge I have not committed any crime, nor have I even said anything that can be regarded as a crime. Unless talking about societal issues is a crime
And if I’m wanted for anything shouldn’t I be called to report to any police station? I would gladly do so because I have nothing to hide
Just like everyone else regardless if one agrees or not with my opinions on societal issues, I shouldn’t have to live in fear, always looking at my back, sleeping with one eye open, because of unidentified men looking for me.
Your assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
</blockquote>
Shadaya Knight recently found himself in the spotlight due to a vehicular snub from Wicknell Chivayo, the free-spending controversial businessman linked to ZANU PF.
Chivayo said that he did not gift Shadaya a car despite the latter’s “legendary” status. He said Shadaya’s abrasive nature towards women influenced his choice. Chivayo wrote on one of his Instagram stories:
<blockquote>
Hanzi na Shadaya LEARN OR PERISH … Chiya chinonzi Shadaya chibaba. Dai asingazo nyanya kuzotuka MADZIMAI kana AQUA anga aine kodzero yekupihwa… He’s a LEGEND in his own right.
</blockquote>
In a thinly veiled rebuke, Shadaya posted an emoji of a car alongside a person throwing something into a trash can.
Shadaya had previously mocked Seh Calaz after the latter seemingly begged for a car from Chivayo. Shadaya wrote at the time:
<blockquote>
A man must have pride. And it is with that pride that a man will never beg another fellow man. It is that same pride that will tell a man not to depend on freebies or handouts.
Everything he gets, he earns it. In recent times, modern men have become weak and, they no longer have pride.
There’s this new trend of men being groupies, this culture of hanging around rich men, for some crumbs.

Shadaya Sends SOS To ZRP, Claims He's Getting Threats On His Life

Chelsea manager Graham Potter says he has received death threats from anonymous people.
The former Brighton and Hove Albion boss has faced a lot of criticism for the club’s poor performances and results.
According to the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-graham-potter-death-threats-29309468">Daily Star</a>, Chelsea have only recorded two victories in their last 14 matches in all competitions.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference to preview Chelsea’s clash against Tottenham Hotspur, Potter said:
<blockquote>
As much as I’ve had support, I’ve had some not particularly nice emails come through that want me to die and want my kids to die.
So that’s obviously not pleasant to receive.
You have got to take the situation for what it is, take the criticism, but don’t get drawn into stuff that is incorrect.
Try to have perspective but at the same time acknowledge the criticism and bad feeling. That’s how it should be.
It’s a challenge and if you go to work and somebody is swearing abuse at you it’s not going to be pleasant.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Potter reportedly has the firm support and backing of Chelsea owner Todd Boehly and other stakeholders.

Chelsea Manager Graham Potter Receives Death Threats

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has opened a docket against Senator <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Douglas_Mwonzora">Douglas Mwonzora</a>, leader of the opposition <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Movement_for_Democratic_Change">Movement for Democratic Change (MDC)</a> for allegedly issuing death threats to a party employee.
Mwonzora allegedly accuses the employee of pestering him over unpaid wages.
The employee, Mutandwa Machera, reported Mwonzora to the police on Monday following the death threats and a docket was opened under Harare Central IR 021195.
Narrating his experience, Machera said the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nyanga">Nyanga</a> senator called him on his cell phone on Sunday threatening to shoot him. Machera told <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/police-docket-opened-against-mwonzora-for-employee-death-threats/">ZimLive</a> Monday:
<blockquote>
On 15 February at 15.40 hours, Douglas Mwonzora called me on my phone threatening to kill me.
He said verbatim, ‘Mutandwa Machera and Kudzanayi Mashumba, I am going to shoot you if you come to my house. I don’t owe you any money. I am only going to assist you.
Yesterday (Sunday), I also fled my home after Mwonzora threatened me for one minute, 41 seconds telling me ‘I am going to shoot you. I am looking for you. My bodyguards will kill you in my name. Starting with me, if I miss you, my boys will kill you instead.
Mwonzora refers to himself as the government in waiting. How, when he can threaten a worker who is merely demanding his salary.
</blockquote>
This was after the employee had vowed to accost the MDC leader at his Harare home to stage a demonstration over his dues.
Machera said he is owed US$9 600 in outstanding wages.
Together with over a dozen party employees, they are owed wages dating back over 13 months.
Disgruntled employees accuse the party leader of failing to settle their wages even after receiving a government grant under the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Political_Parties_Finance_Act">Political Parties Finance Act</a>.

Docket Opened Against Mwonzora For Death Threats

Four members of the opposition Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) who were arrested in Chinhoyi for allegedly threatening to kill MDC-T leader, Douglas Mwonzora, have been granted bail.
The four are Godfrey Makoko (38), Justin Taurai Munyaradzi (38), Tawanda Bvumo (48), and former Chinhoyi mayor and incumbent Ward 12 Councillor, Dyke Makumbi (48).
Chinhoyi Magistrate, Chido Garwe, granted the four $30 000 bail each on Wednesday. They will be in court for routine remand on 12 December.
Investigating officer, Never Muchakayawa had opposed bail on the grounds that the accused persons could interfere with investigations and that there was a likelihood that accused persons could default since they faced serious charges.
However, the accused’s lawyer Kudzai Choga argued that his clients never committed any offence and there were no witnesses to an imaginary incident that never occurred in the first place.
He added that bail was a constitutional entitlement and the court should not be swayed into denying freedom on basis of contrived petty allegations and assumptions.
The court heard that the four jeered MDC-T president Douglas Mwonzora after he withdrew a defective spoliation order in his bid to take over control of a property used as CCC offices situated along Fairview Road, Mzari suburb in Chinhoyi.
The incident reportedly took place outside Chinhoyi Court Complex last Friday. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/ccc-activists-who-threatened-to-kill-mwonzora-granted-30-000-bail-each/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>

Comedienne Madam Boss, whose real name is Tarisai Cleopatra Chikocho, claims she received death threats from strangers, both on her mobile phone, and on social media.
Madam revealed the matter through a Facebook post which she has since deleted.
Speaking in an interview with H-Metro, the comedienne explained why she took down the post. She said:
<blockquote>
It passed and I don’t want to dwell on it because how can I joke about things like that?
I don’t want it to be in public, that is the reason why I took down the post, I wouldn’t want to alert my enemies.
I have no idea what might have led people to threaten me.
Actually, I think they are just strangers who don’t like me.
</blockquote>
Madam Boss, however, said she was not sure who was behind the threats or their motives but insisted that she will not lose sleep over the matter. She said:
<blockquote>
Haters are always there. As a celebrity, you are surrounded by many people who can turn into haters.
Even anyone, who is not a celebrity, can even testify how sometimes one can be surrounded by negative energy.
So, if a normal person can have haters, it can be worse when it is me.
But, I don’t know who it was.
The threat came through the phone. But that doesn’t matter and won’t change me.
I would like to tell my fans that I love them and I am indebted for the support they give me every day.
</blockquote>
The threats came after Madam Boss and other celebrities took part in the search for missing St Mathias Tsonzo High School student, Livingstone Sunhwa.
Human remains thought to be those of Livingstone were found in a thicket about a kilometre from the school on the day Madam Boss and other celebrities were in Mutare searching for the teenager.
It is not clear whether the death threats were linked to Madam Boss’ public demand for answers in Livingstone’s disappearance or not.

Goromonzi West MP, Energy Mutodi (ZANU PF), says he has been receiving death threats over the few days.
Mutodi, a former Deputy Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Service Minister, said he has increased his personal security as a result of the threats. <a href="https://twitter.com/energymutodi/status/1533447494704812032">He tweeted on Sunday</a>:
<blockquote>
I am tightening personal security following direct and indirect threats on my life in recent days.
MPs are public officials who represent the people and speak for the voiceless.
They must never be targeted for what they say or do in or outside Parliament.
</blockquote>
Barely three weeks ago, Mutodi urged President Emmerson Mnangagwa to reshuffle his Cabinet as a matter of urgency to avoid a humiliating defeat in the 2023 elections.
Mutodi said that some cabinet members do not have what it takes to help Mnangagwa solve the country’s economic challenges.
Mutodi had earlier criticised Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube in the National Assembly, asking why it took him such a long time to realise that buying and selling foreign currency has become the primary business in the country.
He also asked Ncube why Zimbabwe continued to use bond notes when he (Mthuli) has previously stated that “bad money drives out good money” before he became a Cabinet Minister.

Energy Mutodi Claims To Have Received Death Threats

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/MDC-T_(Khupe_Faction)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MDC-T</a> deputy president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Obert_Gutu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Obert Gutu</a> claims that he has been receiving death threats via WhatsApp from people using South Africa-registered mobile phone numbers.
Gutu has, however, dared those issuing the death threats to come near him. Writing on Twitter, he said:
<blockquote>Some hoodlums are sending me death threats via WhatsApp. I’m not scared about these threats from cowards who are using South African registered mobile numbers.
Just come near me and try something funny and you will see what will happen to you!</blockquote>
Gutu is not new to controversy as his stream of tweets almost always generates either mockery or anger among his followers.
On Tuesday, Gutu defended police brutality against MDC supporters, going as far as labelling his erstwhile colleagues “terrorists”.

MDC-T VP Claims To Have Received Death Threats

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Congress_of_Trade_Unions" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)</a> president Peter Mutasa says killing citizens when they agitate for their rights will not make the myriad of challenges the country is facing go away.
Mutasa was speaking in an interview with the Daily News after he has received several death threats together with ZCTU secretary-general <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Japhet_Moyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Japhet Moyo</a>. Said Mutasa:
<blockquote>Killing us will not destroy starvation, poverty and the general need that every citizen is facing. The government is wasting time, it just has to reform and seek a new inclusive, fair and just social contract with citizens.
The bottom line is workers are going to stop working and protest in various non-violent ways against economic mismanagement, oppression, exploitation and other forms of social injustices. We also call upon the international community to protect citizens and activists under threat.</blockquote>
The ZCTU in January this year called for a nation-wide workers’ stay away after President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> announced on national television the hiking of fuel prices by over 150 per cent.
Since then, union leaders have been charged with treason and threatened with death through anonymous calls and text messages.

Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Peter_Mutasa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peter Mutasa</a> has blamed the government for several death threats he has been receiving over the past few months.
Mutasa has asked why people who commit minor offences are arrested while those committing huge crimes are allowed to roam free. He said:
<blockquote>These are barbaric and sadistic. That people can even threaten to gang-r_pe a minor for the role her father plays in representing workers.
This is pathetic and we hold the government accountable. How can all these threats and abductions go on without a lead or arrests in this security-tight country?</blockquote>

ZCTU Leaders Receive Death Threats

Lawyers representing the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) leaders last week wrote a petition to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) requesting for investigations into the death threats issued against them.
A letter addressed to the Harare Central Police Station’s Officer in Charge, dated August 16, 2019, and signed by Mbidzo, Muchadehama and Makoni Legal Practitioners, on behalf of the ZCTU leaders reads in part:
We write to bring to your attention and formally request you to cause an investigation into various threats of death received by our client on Thursday 15 August 2019 at 18:14 hrs, through an SMS on his mobile phone which read as follows ‘IF YOU GO AND GIVE A SOLIDARITY MSG TOMORROW U ARE DEAD’. The message was sent using an Econet subscriber number263786645911.
The lawyers claimed that the ominous message was sent to the ZCTU, secretary-general, Japhet Moyo, as well as to the union’s president, Peter Mutasa.
ZCTU secretary-general, Japhet Moyo allegedly received another message on his mobile phone which read:
JAPHET MOYO U TEND TO FORGET QUICKLY WE KNW WHERE U STAY IN CHITOWN AND ALL YO FAMILY MEMBERS. IF YOU HAPPEN TO SET YOUR FOOT AT THE MDC ALLIANCE DEMONSTRATION ON 16 AUGUST 2019. THE BULLET U ONCE RECEIVED AS PARCEL SHALL PASS THRU YO HEAD AND. IF U WANT POLITICS COME OUT CLEAN. BE WARNED AGAINST GIVING SOLIDARITY MESSAGE TOMORROW YOUR FAMILY STILL NEEDS YOU.
Econet numbers, +263777584972 and +263772997279 were used to send threatening messages as well as repeating the same threats verbally.
The lawyers told the police that their clients now live in fear following the recent abductions of human rights activists. They wrote:
<blockquote>As a result, our client now fears for his life, especially in view of the recent spate of abductions involving Tatenda Mombeyarara, Blessing Kanotunga, Cosmas Mhashwa, Marlon Kanda and Councilor Makweza from Chitungwiza.
All these matters have been reported to the police to the best of our client’s knowledge. We have reason to believe that these matters are related and are being perpetrated by the same persons or grouping of persons.</blockquote>

ZCTU Leaders Told To Stay Clear Of MDC Demos Or Risk Being Killed

A ZANU PF MP claims that he was threatened with death for calling for a meeting between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and MDC leader Nelson Chamisa.
MP for Chivi South, Killer Zivhu wrote on Twitter about the backlash he said he received from unknown people for suggesting that the two political rivals should be brought to the negotiating table. He wrote on Twitter:
<blockquote>The past two days I’ve been receiving criticisms about my quest to make ED (Emmerson Dambudzo) and CCC (Chamisa Chete Chete) meet from all corners, including my own counterparts in Zanu PF. To the extent of receiving calls from private numbers with threats to kill me and burning me alive.</blockquote>
Having deleted the initial tweet, Zivhu tweeted later revealing his utter disdain for confrontation and violence. He wrote:
<blockquote>I don’t believe in confrontation or violence. My quest is for ED and CCC to meet and discuss rebuilding Zimbabwe, sharing ideas from different angles of their political philosophy.
As such, I’m continuing with my promise to deliver the letters to them.</blockquote>
President Mnangagwa began a dialogue process in 2018 which involves unknown candidates in the Presidential elections held the same year.
The dialogue process has been dismissed as meaningless by political commentators as Chamisa, who received more than 43 per cent of the vote, is not involved.
Chamisa has called for one-on-one dialogue with President Mnangagwa but his requests have hitherto been ignored.

ZANU PF MP Says He Received Death Threats Over ED, Chamisa Dialogue Calls

A personal bodyguard of the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader Walter Magaya has been dragged to court on allegations of issuing death threats to a local actress.
James Dzamu (41), appeared before Mbare Magistrates Court facing charges of threats to commit murder after he issued a chilling warning to Charity Dhlodhlo.
Dhlodhlo was reportedly revealing sleazy details about Magaya’s business and private life.
Dzamu resides at PHD Ministries compound in Waterfalls in Harare while Dhlodhlo who also lives in Waterfalls, appeared in the local soap opera Studio 263 as Mai Madziva.
Reports indicate that on December 12, 2018, Dhlodhlo was confronted by Dzamu when he arrived at her home.
Dzamu allegedly approached Dhlodhlo and warned her that death was awaiting her if she continued talking about Magaya.
Dhlodhlo eventually proceeded to Waterfalls Police Station where she reported the matter.
Dzamu was remanded out of custody on his own recognition ordered not to interfere with State witnesses and to continue residing at his given address.

Actress Receives Death Threats For 'Exposing' Walter Magaya

There was drama in Parliament today as Hon Stella Manthe (ZANU P)  confronted Zengeza West MP Job Sikhala and pointed a finger at him allegedly threatening him with death over some comments made, NewZimbabwe.com reports.
It is not clear what Sikhala said that prompted the angry response. However, Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda warned Mathe of the unwarranted behaviour. Said Mudenda:
<blockquote>We do not encourage that type of approach. You point fingers at each other through debate.</blockquote>
In response to the threat, Sikhala said:
<blockquote>She (Mathe) threatened me with death but, she does not have the capacity.</blockquote>

ZANU PF MP Issues Death Threat To Job Sikhala

Norton legislator Temba Mliswa has made a complaint against Zanu-PF legislator Dexter Nduna.
Mliswa wrote a letter to the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) requesting that they investigate the Chegutu West legislator following death threats. He said the security of his person and that of his family is now at risk following Nduna’s death threats. Below is Mliswa’s full letter below:
<blockquote>RE: LETTER OF CONCERN AND REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION INTO VERBAL THREATS MADE AGAINST ME BY HON. DEXTER NDUNA
The above refers
My name is Temba Peter Mliswa, a citizen of Zimbabwe and Independent Member of Parliament for Norton Constituency. I write to you in terms of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. section 243. which provides that the functions of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission include
1. To receive and consider complaints from the public and to take such action in regard to the complaints as it considers appropriate.
2. Protect people against abuse of power and maladministration by the State and public institutions and by officials of those institutions.
3. Investigate the conduct of any authority or person, suspected of violating any of the hurnan rights provided in the Constitution’s Declaration of Rights. 4. Take necessary actions to assist victims of human rights violations to receive justice
I make the following complaint regarding a verbal threat made against me by Hon. Dexter Nduna, Member of Parliament for Chegutu West Constituency, and request the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission to investigate these abuses and secure appropriate redress:
During a Mines and Mining Development Parliamentary Portfolio Committee meeting in the Senate Chambers at the Parliament of Zimbabwe, Hon Dexter Nduna made personal ominous verbal threats against me of which video and audio evidence is available.
1. “Ndine vamwe vanhu vandakauraya vandisingazive” which translated into English means, ‘I have killed some people I do not even know’
2. “I will deal with you outside” (Parliament)
As a result of these threats, the security of my person and that of my family is now at risk, my right to freedom of movement and expression have been seriously compromised.
I therefore look forward to your urgent response in this regard.
Yours sincerely
Hon. Temba P. Mliswa
Member of Parliament &amp; Chairperson, Parliamentary Portfolio Committee for Mines &amp; Mining Development</blockquote>

Mliswa Reports Nduna To ZHRC Following Death Threat

MDC national chairperson Thabitha Khumalo said she received a death threat text message from  “text.co.zw”, a bulk message system that is used by Parliament.
She forwarded the received threat messages to Daily News. The message reads:
<blockquote>Zita rangu ndinonzi ‘Death.’ Mafreedoms nemarights amunoda kukoshesa aya be careful kuti security in numbers haiwanzobatsiri kana wawega, we are gunning for u!</blockquote>
Khumalo said she is very disappointed the Parliament of Zimbabwe would want to intimidate her for carrying out my duty as the leader of the House. She said she does not know why she was being threatened as she has not done anything wrong. Said Khumalo:
<blockquote>If you look at the top message before the one that was threatening me, it was a message that was coming from the external relations officer who was instructing honourable members to collect some documents from his office. Now what boggles my mind is what is it that I have done wrong that is outside the rules and norms of Parliament. I have followed every single standing rule including the Constitution of Zimbabwe articulating issues that I have been sent by the people of Zimbabwe to come and present.</blockquote>

MDC National Chairperson Receives Death Threat Text Message

Thokozani Khupe led MDC-T spokesperson Linda Masarira told The Herald she received death threats from unknown people for alleging MDC Alliance sent members for military training.
Speaking on Twitter, Masarira alleged the recent outbreak of fires in several cities could be the work of MDC Alliance members trained by Serbians in some southern African countries ahead of the July 30 harmonised elections. Said Masarira:
<blockquote>Over the past two days, I have been receiving death threats. I have been warned against moving at night. I have been told that I would be ruthlessly dealt with. They swore that they would ensure that I also lose my life. The levels of intolerance about different opinions by our erstwhile comrades are actually sickening. Elements from our erstwhile comrades are seeking to use rumour to vilify me, saying I am pushing for State agents to kill them, which is a lot of rubbish.</blockquote>
Masarira said she has not yet made a police report but will do so on Monday when she returns to Harare.

Linda Masarira Receives Death Threats After Alleging MDC Sent Members For Military Training

Marondera Central MP Lawrence Katsiru (Zanu-PF) yesterday accused his party colleague, Terence Mukupe (Harare East MP) of threatening to kill him in parliament while other MPs were debating other issues.
Said Katsiru:
<blockquote>On a point of order Mr Speaker, is it parliamentary that Mukupe comes to my bench, where I am seated, to insult and threaten to kill me? Can you protect me Mr Speaker, and although he has threatened me, he is a small boy, and if he wants to rub shoulders with me, why can’t he wait until we are outside Parliament?</blockquote>
However, Acting Speaker of the National Assembly, Rueben Marumahoko did not make a ruling on the matter and prevented any further discussions on the matter, saying he will make a ruling after investigations are done.

Zanu-PF MP accuses party colleague of threatening to kill him in parliament

Part of Advocate Jacob Mudenda’s report shows that during the investigations that he was plotting to topple Robert Mugabe, Zanu-PF national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere said his mother received his coffin and she almost died from the trauma.
Said Kasukuwere:
<blockquote>My name has been tarnished and in the process, a coffin was acquired, a sign that I was dead and buried. The sight of that coffin traumatised my mother who nearly died. I am glad she is now recovering.</blockquote>

Kasukuwere's mother almost “died” when she was shown her son’s “coffin”.

Legislators have decried the government’s reluctance to protect them when they are being threatened. Parliament’s Information Communications Technology Postal and Courier Services portfolio committee chairperson Nelson Chamisa revealed that in the past legislators, mainly from the opposition have received death threats via their mobile phones and social media. Chamisa said despite reporting the death threats to the police and to the speaker of Parliament, no investigation has been carried out.
said Chamisa:
<blockquote>Can you imagine a so-called honourable member of parliament being sent a death threatening message and government not protecting him through instituting an investigation and having laws that prevent that (threats) from happening? What would happen to a vulnerable citizen?
This is what we are saying is lacking in the cyber laws which are being crafted. We need citizens to be protected by laws not for laws to be enacted as weapons to use against citizens</blockquote>

MPs express concern at government's reluctance to protect them after they received death threats

Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs Minister Martin Dinha who is currently in Dubai told The Daily News that he received death threats via his mobile phones. This comes after he publicly called for the expulsion of Saviour Kasukuwere and his brother Dickson Mafios.
Said Dinha:
<blockquote>First they manufactured a statement purporting that it was mine…and now they are sending threats to kill me on my roaming lines. A female and a male called me and said “usada kufira mahara” (don’t die for nothing) using a private numbers. They said “you have a family, be very careful what you say.”</blockquote>
He said he will make a formal report to the police as he returns back home. In 2015, Dinha also received an AK47 bullet and threatening message telling him to step down or risk suffering the same fate that befell the late Zanu-PF political commissar Elliot Manyika.
