*Chamisa Slams 'Primitive' ZANU PF After Mob Attack In Masvingo* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?vm MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa on Tuesday said an attack on his convoy in Masvingo a day earlier by ZANU PF supporters is a primitive form of engagement and tarnishes the image of the country. Chamisa addressed the attack in Charumbira, Masvingo province, for the first time during a news conference. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- The attack by a mob of about 200 placard-waving mobs left five supporters, including a councillor, injured and one of his security vehicles was badly damaged. Chamisa said the mob had been mobilised by ZANU PF and bribed with food to stage a protest against sanctions. He said: > We are here to seek peace and congregate with the local communities. What we got is a lot of panic from the police, a lot of panic from state institutions, and a lot of panic from ZANU PF as an organisation. > I mean what they did yesterday, bringing burning logs to barricade the road, are primitive things. > You don’t do such things. It damages and tarnishes the image of the country. We have a country being reduced to stone-age engagement. > Why can’t you interact with us, why do you want us to interact with stones? Five MDC Alliance officials were treated for minor injuries, including ward 5 councillor, Daniel Mberikunashe. Meanwhile, ZANU PF Acting political commissar Patrick Chinamasa said Chamisa was attacked after provoking ZANU PF supporters in the province. Said Chinamasa: > Mr Chamisa imposed himself on the Masvingo audience seeking to address them without their consent. > What I hear happened in Masvingo was that the opposition leader was trying to impose himself to an audience that did not want to listen to him. > He had no right to force people to listen to him. He had a right to address people, but only those who were willing to be addressed by him. > In this case, the information I received is that the villagers did not want to be addressed by him for obvious reasons. > If you listen to a mad man, you become part of his cast. Our Zanu PF people had a right to refuse to be addressed. It’s their right. Chamisa alleged that most of the demonstrators were drunk after being plied with alcohol overnight and then being driven to the location where they blocked his passage. ZANU PF supporter Nhamoinesu Nemanwa was named as one of the ring leaders that orchestrated the attack. *More: ZimLive* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
