Zimbabwe’s former Finance Minister, Tendai Biti’s homestead has been burnt down.

The PDP leader’s rural home was Sunday night torched down by suspected ZANU PF arsonists.

While it was not possible to reach the top-barrister turned politician, his party’s senior officers confirmed the incident.

“Please note that the rural homestead of President Biti in Murewa was burnt down on Sunday evening by some people yet to be identified…“Everything was destroyed. We only thank God no one was injured.” Mr Gorden Moyo said.

He continued saying, “We condemn in strongest terms the perpetrators of this malicious destruction of property. We hope police will do their work and bring the perpetrators to justice.”

The attack comes within hours of Biti criticising First Lady Grace Mugabe saying “The suggestion that Zimbabweans will vote for a corpse is contemptuous , cynical , abusive and arrogant. What is wrong with these people?”

Biti’s party in a statement said, “there have also been threats to President Biti in recent years. While serving as the Finance Minister during the inclusive period, President Biti received a live bullet wrapped in envelope.

“However, despite these attempts on the life of the PDP leader, President Biti and the entire PDP family remain unshaken and resolute as we prepared for the watershed 2018 elections.”

While Finance Minister 2011, Biti’s house in Chisipite house was reportedly also petrol bombed.

  1. This is just one more tragic story to remind us all why we must implement the democratic reforms BEFORE holding the next elections. Only when the election process is cleaned of this thuggery will the nation know the electoral result is a true reflection of the people’s democratic will.

    “However, despite these attempts on the life of the PDP leader, President Biti and the entire PDP family remain unshaken and resolute as we prepare for the watershed 2018 elections,” said the party statement.

    If the party thinks we will be fooled by this then they are wrong. We all know these people are contesting these flawed elections to win the seats Zanu PF gives away as bait. Biti and company will contest the elections even if they have to walk over hundreds if not thousands of dead bodies, victims of Zanu PF’s wanton violence, to get into the gravy train.
