Three MDC members were hospitalized while six others were arrested after they were attacked by a Zanu PF mob during an MDC youth mobilization and recruitment exercise in Budiriro on Sunday.
It was in fact the victims who were arrested as the police once again showed their bias in the wake of the resurgence of Zanu PF violence.
MDC Youth had recruited over 100 youth in Budiriro who signed up to be a part of the party before Zanu PF thugs attacked the youth leaders with sticks, stones and iron bars.
The rowdy Zanu PF youth, led by their Harare province chairman Godfrey Gomwe attacked our youth for merely wearing the party regalia and carrying out visibility programmes in Budiriro. They ordered MDC youths to remove their T-shirts.
Johanna Mamombe, Harare West district youth secretary, Benard Ncube, Harare West district Chair and Tangai Magawa Hatfield district youth chair were brutally attacked and had to be hospitalized while Trust Muchena, the Glen Norah youth organising Secretary was kidnapped by Zanu PF youth before they surrendered him at Budiriro 2 police station, together with five other party members.
MDC youth provincial chairperson, Stan Manyenga attracted the ire of the police for rescuing Johanna and Bernard before taking them to a local hospital. Police officers from the Law and Order section went to his home this afternoon looking for him.
The MDC is concerned that violence continues to rear its ugly head in our society where focus should be on reviving the economy and creating jobs for the youth. We call upon the police to execute its mandate without fear or favour.
Zanu PF has not changed and violence continues to be part of their DNA. We urge the police to arrest the real perpetrators of violence and to release our innocent members immediately.

“Zanu PF has not changed and violence continues to be part of their DNA. We urge the police to arrest the real perpetrators of violence and to release our innocent members immediately,” said an MDC-T member. Following the outbreak of violence in Budiriro in which Zanu PF youths attached MDC-T youths. Some MDC-T youths were hospitalised whilst others were arrested by the Police.
Of course Zanu PF has not changed you useless piece of shit! MDC was supposed to implement the democratic reforms that would have forced the Police, the Courts and all the other democratic institutions to end their political bias and carry out their duties without fear or favour. The MDC-T moron now calling on the Police to arrest the Zanu PF youths has accepted that it was ok that party leaders like Tsvangirai traded implementing the reform for his $4 million Highlands mansion. And yet he still expects the Police reforms to have been carried out.
The nation is once again facing the horrors of political violence because MDC choices to trade in the opportunity to end the violence for the Highlands mansion and the other trappings of power Mugabe offered Tsvangirai and other MDC leaders. These MDC morons followed the corrupt and incompetent MDC leaders who betrayed the whole nation and they still continue to follow the idiots like sheep to the slaughter even now with all the evidence of the betrayal there for all to see.
“Zanu PF has not changed!” Of course they have not change; that was the price
Tsvangirai paid for his Highlands mansion. How many times do you want to be told that before it finally sinks in, you moron!
I used to believe whatever MDC-T said concerning violence. Everything, without any problem but after MDC-T youths beat up their own leaders I now dont know what to believe honestly. Remember they just clubed them and their leader Mr. Tswangirai never condemned them so the police will say they attacked “peace loving citizens” even if they were attacked. Violence, violence and again violence is just primitive. It is from a gukurahundi demon!
