By Rowdy and organized ZanuPf demonstrators blocked and threw heavy boulders against Nelson Chamisa’s motorcade yesterday in Masvingo as he was doing rounds across the province during their Citizens Convergence for Change tours.
The party deputy spokesman Ostallos Siziba who was on ground stated that the assault was an assignation attempt against their president and they do not take the threats lightly as the party.
“Some organized and rowdy Zanu Pf Youths who were chanting anti sanction slogans attacked the presidential motorcade, this was a serious assassination attempt on the life of the president, the security vehicle which was then destroyed was blocking the attack targeted against President Nelson Chamisa’s car “
Siziba said.
The deputy spokesperson added that the attacks were well calculated and the team was determined to hurt or kill their president in an ambush attack.
“The presidential motorcade had to retreat from the attacks after an ambush by over 50 youths who emerged from the bush, the lead car had to block and stop imminent attacks directed at the president’s vehicle as they threw huge stones against it”,added Siziba.
A crowd of Zanu Pf Supporters held banners and barricaded the road towards Charumbira village in Masvingo, one of the four stop overs the party had.
The attack happened when they detoured to the funeral of a party member in the community. The Zanu Pf Youth Chair for Mavingo Province who is also the Rural District Council Chair Mr Godfrey Mukungunugwa Huruva was fingered as the mastermind of the attacks.
Sources who disclosed to TechMagTV alleged that he paid off the Youths and woman who participated in the demostrations and attacks with one loaf of unsliced bread and 10kg Silo Mealie meal each.
The suspended provincial chairperson Ezra Chadzamira is also alleged to have been working closely together with Huruva, as both their vihecles were noticed doing rounds before and after the attacks.
We reached out to Huruva for comment who professed ignorance on the developemtns as he stated that he was not even in the town for the day.
“ I have only heard of the skirmishes, im currently in Chivi for a family funeral and have no idea of the actual developments, “ Chadzamira said.
Asked if he denied video evidence that showed him distributing mealie melie at Matewe garage to some youths and woman after the attacks, the ZanuPf Youth demanded that we send him the footage. Eye witnesses and those who divulged to TechMagtv however have sent us more evidence linking Huruva as the mastermind of the Masvingo distrubances who was still in town at 8pm when we reached him for comment.
