By Paul Nyathi |National People’s Party President Joice Mujuru’s top aide says some soldiers have been arrested over the attack on her and party members in Glen Norah yesterday. (See the video with pictures of some of the injured)
Mujuru had to be rushed to hospital after the stone attacks by suspected ZANU PF supporters in Glen Norah Harare yesterday.
I am reliably informed that the police has arrested the attackers and 5 of them are known military officers currently at Glen Norah police station. Can journos and @ZLHRLawyers look into this please. @hbaldwin we can not have military on duty in civilian attire commiting such.

The NPP Secretary General Gift Nyandoro has said the police have since effected some arrests on people suspected to have attacked Mujuru. (See the video with pictures of some of the injured)
According to Nyandoro amongst the people arrested are members of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.
“Following the attack of NPP President today police has since made five arrests and amongst them are two military officers at Glenorah police and police are withholding their names,” said Nyandoro.
“Incidents” happen, credibility determined by response; perpetrators identifiable & 2b brought 2Court & publicly disapproved by leadership!? https://t.co/r3JruOuP8Z

ZimEye.com sources close to the opposition leader presented a medical report from a specialist radiologist indicating that x-ray tests were executed on Mujuru on the arm and eye following the attack.
NPP officials have not yet been able to provide ZimEye.com with specifics on the extent of the injuries on Mujuru.
No Cheap politicking here… Police have confirmed… Do you support violence against your political opponents?
perpetrators must be brought to book. full stop. No one is above the law. even a member of the ZDF is under the law. Whoever was involved must face the music in court.
Well before the attackers were arrested Mujuru had already made her claims that some of them were soldiers.. I don’t understand how did she get to know that.. is it that they were putting on military uniform? or the assault was so painful that she was convinced that the guys had military training… this is purely cheap politicking from this useless queen bee
This is rubbish to try and hide with the finger where is free and fair election Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans not for individuals??????????/
Van damme said it well, the response matters more. ndopanobuda kuti varikuda free and fair here?
Why police are they upholding names of criminals. Every Zimbabwean needs to know these hyenas so that when we meet them we run for our lives. The whole plan is for them to go free without any charge. Lets ask ourselves, what were the gandanga’s doing at a rally instead of the police. They were sent by the big she’s to install fear to people. This tells us that they are liars to tell us that there will be free and fair elections.
