Violence erupted in the Mbare suburb as Zanu pf youths descended on a pre-booked MDC Harare Province Youth Forum.
Despite the forum having been pre-arranged in good time, ZANU PF youths and hooligans felt politically threatened and raided the place brutally assaulting opposition members.
The MDC says its “Harare Province Youth Assembly had booked a forum at number five (5) grounds in Mbare along Ardebernie Road. The forum was meant to educate first time voters about the core values of the party, and furthermore it was a visibility function”.
When they were attacked, the police failed to disperse the ZANU youths and it emerged the force was actually part and parcel of the mob.
“Our youths vigilantly stood their ground and dispersed about 300 ZANU hooligans who had occupied the venue,” the party said in a statement.
It was at that point that as this had not go on well with the ZANU youths, they left the place “to seek assistance from their reserve friends including police officers who all then re-grouped and returned to attack us.”
Many were assaulted and one woman was bleeding profusely at the time of writing.
A comment from the police could not be obtained at the time of writing.

Kikikiki Gura, did you not hear Mugabe saying MDC won by 73%? Do you think he was jocking? So you wanted Tsvangirai alone do demonstrate over the elections while the rest we hid. Zimbabweans know they will be killed by state machinery.

Mr Guramatunhu, you are mixing issues here. Being compassionate does not stop us from writing correctly. Mind you these are professionals I am adressing. If it was a commentator no worries. Scribes should write correctly.

An eye for an eye and turn the country into a nation of orphans and blind people! Very clever my friend!

This is exactly what Zanu PF would want you to do and they will then unleash the Police, CIO, Army, etc. to hunt all those responsible for the beating up of one of the Zanu PF thugs!
The only way to deal with the Zanu PF culture of violence is to insist on the implementation of ALL the GPA reforms now before the next elections. People must now realize that political leaders from both sides do not care if the country is set on fire and millions are beaten and/or raped and hundreds or even thousands are murdered in the coming months. All they care about is that they win the elections at the end of the day. If we do not want to see the country set on fire then it is up to us the ordinary people to demand that the GPA reforms are implemented BEFORE the next elections!

Stop making a farce over trivial issues. If one of the injured was your relative or better still you; you would be angry that this barbarism is happening in our country and not be bothered about spelling mistakes. So you would not mind that people are killed as long as the article is in perfect English!
You are no different from Joice Mujuru who said or did nothing to stop the slaughter of 20 000 innocent Zimbabweans during Gukurahundi out of “respect” of President Mugabe! You morons make me sick!

The only why to stop the culture of violence is by implementing the GPA reforms, MDC should have done this during the GNU they failed but there is no excuse for not getting this done now! MDC leaders are focusing on electoral reforms they know will not stop the violence because the leaders know they are safe and it is the ordinary members who are at the business end of the whip!
Morgan Tsvangirai is on record encouraging his supporters to fight back, yet the last time he was threatened he did not fight back but ran away and was hiding in the Netherlands Embassy for weeks!
Opposition leaders have the choice to implement the GPA reforms before the elections and thus avoid bloodshed or go ahead with the elections. But let is be said here and now; these opposition leaders will share the blame for the broken limps and murders with the Zanu PF leaders and thugs who committed the crime!

Yaaaa true. Democracy comes at a cost. Its time to take the violence direct to their door steps. One by one lets flush them in our neighbourhoods. Destroy anything associated with Zanu Pf covertly. Honestly if we start burning their houses one by one they will “Stop It”.

I think the opposition and other progressive forces in the country need to start an operation to weed the nation of these urchins dealing with them covertly one by one. These imbeciles are known and they allow themselves to be used and at the same time not only destroying our nation and its democracy that unfortunately we are forced to continue describing as fragiling but to needlessly terrorize otherwise peace loving and progressive people. Its time we fight them. These people are not only cowards but they are very dull and to hope that the police will act on them is expecting too much from the road-block brigade. We should simply draw a line in the sand and say enough is enough.
