The Harare- bound bus belonging to Beckham Transport was intercepted at Croco Motors while picking up war veterans destined for the capital city where they intended to demonstrate against First Lady Grace Mugabe and her G40 team.
First Lady Grace Mugabe was in December blocked from visiting the Province.
Mrs Mugabe torched a storm when she launched a scathing attack on war veterans in a bid to silence the former freedom fighters said to be backing Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Mrs Mugabe also attacked the Vice President threatening to undress him.   Sources told ZimEye.com plain clothes-police officers pounced on the bus crew and ordered the war veterans to disembark before taking it to Masvingo Central Police Station. The bus was still parked at Masvingo police station and CIO operatives working with members of the Police Internal Security Intelligence (PISI) were at the time of writing carrying out investigations on the matter
 
Although Masvingo Police spokesperson Inspector Charity Mazula was not readily available for a comment, police details manning the premises warned ZimEye against reporting on the matter.
 
“My brother you better not ask about the bus because the matter is too sensitive and I advise you to distance yourself from the issue. The bus was impounded at Croco Motors while ferrying war veterans to Harare so it is an explosive matter. The bosses are investigating it so please do not invite trouble,” said a police constable at the police station.
 
A member of the bus crew declined to comment fearing political implications and it is understood the bus owners are battling to secure the vehicle’s release.
Intelligence sources disclosed there are spirited efforts to flush out party bigwigs behind the issue. READ MORE on this developing story…..
