Women’s rights and political activist, Lynnette Mudehwe, has raised alarm that she fears for her life, being a target of ‘fellow comrades,’ state agents -the Patson Dzamara crew.
Amid reports that controversial missing Itai Dzamara’s brother, Patson has seized control of proceedings of the #16DaysOccupation in Harare, Mudehwe told ZimEye.com that she has been forced into a hide-out.
She said “the occupation will continue but for security reasons,” she is fleeing serious threats to harm her.
She said, “whilst l am prepared to die for the love of Zimbabwe, it is reckless to be in a place where both the state and fellow comrades can harm you.”
Mudehwe further questioned the circumstances under which her phone was stolen, and whatsapp messages leaked to the media, “On Friday night, my phone was stolen. We were sleeping as occupants and no one strange was amongst us. Who then took the phones and who leaked the conversations?,” she said.
Further alleged the outspoken activist, “there have been power struggles starting from day three of the occupation. There were manipulations to hijack the initiative and deface and re-brand it.”
The campaign which started a few days ago has been rocked by infighting, with the controversial Dzamara announcing to the public that Mudehwe is no longer part of the occupation.
“In the course of this have arisen internal issues of discipline which we have now dealt with. As a result we wish to make it clear that one Lynette Tendayi Mudehwe is no longer part of the occupation,” announced Dzamara.
