In politically sensitive Murehwa, a Zanu PF stronghold in Mashonaland East, Zanu PF thugs attacked locals and lashed them severely with logs for assembling a Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) rally.
One of the perpetrators appears to have videotaped the shocking episode, which has gone viral on social media.
The video depicts elderly men and women being severely attacked and interrogated for attending the CCC event and belonging to the opposing opposition party.
CCC has already published a statement, denouncing Zanu PF for the barbarous attack and stating that the party has sought medical aid for the victims as well as reported the event to police.
“We condemn Zanu PF’s violent attack on senior citizens in Bhunu, Murehwa.
“We received a report that Zanu PF beat CCC champions at the home of Champion Seremani.
“We’ve ensured that they received medical attention and reported the matter to the police,” read the statement.
