They numbered around 8 and were heavily armed. > They forced their entry into Jack’s house where he was hosting his brother who had visited him with his wife and that of his other brother Jericho. The soldiers started assaulting the wives of the three brothers and their children, together with Clr Danmore. > All this while four soldiers were training their guns on Jack Roberts threatening to shoot him should he attempt to fight them. > The victims of this barbaric military brutality bled profusely and suffered various degrees of injuries. > The soldiers then bundled the two brothers and took them to an unknown destination. > This brutality is coming only there weeks after we buried Noah Sahumbe of Zimunya Township who succumbed to injuries he sustained after beatings by soldiers from 3 Brigade. > Zimunya Township has been a little hell since the stay away disturbances. > What is clear from this incident is that Zimbabwe is descending into a dark period of kidnappings, abductions, beatings, murders and extrajudicial killings. > The dark days of gukurahundi and 2008 run-off killings are upon us once again. > One cannot fail to link the veiled threats by Mr Mnangagwa over the weekend in Masvingo province with this heinous operation. > It’s clear the junta has stepped up the terror campaign against ordinary, peace-loving citizens. > Is this the new dispensation? Clearly, there is nothing new but a continuation of Mugabe’s legacy of brutality. *Trevor Saruwaka MDC Manicaland Province Spokesperson* More: David Coltart On Facebook _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
