By Talent Gondo| A Harare woman will rue the day she decided to wear her party of choice’ s regalia to her vending site as she will spend the next couple of weeks nursing head injuries inflicted by a Zanu Pf stalwart only identified as Alice Chinyemba.

Eliza Musemburi (29) of Epworth in Harare, was allegedly attacked by a fellow vendor who accused her of selling her wares at “Zanu Pf territory” within the central business district in Harare.

Narrating her ordeal to ZimEye, Musemburi said the feud with Chinyemba started when she came back from a rally organised by her party, MDC T in Chitungwiza, two months ago.

“After attending the rally, I went back to my vending site while wearing party regalia and that is when it all started,” said Musemburi.

She said Chinyemba started passing negative comments about those she said were “traitors” and who supported opposition political parties.

On the fateful day, Musemburi said Chinyemba came to her vending site and deliberately broke some of her wares including looking glasses and face powders.

“When I confronted her about her actions, she ignored me and continued destroying my stuff. She then came when I was about to go home and she started shouting at me calling me all sorts of names,” she said.

Musemburi told ZimEye that when she responded to Chinyemba,  she grabbed a sharp object and hit her on the forehead.

“The object cut me and I lost a lot of blood. I do not recall much what happened because I fell unconscious and woke up at hospital,” said Musemburi.

Chinyemba was reportedly arrested over the offence and later released after paying a fine.

Details of the police report could however not be obtained by the time of writing.

A bitter Musemburi said she was not happy with how Zanu Pf supporters continued bullying fellow citizens adding that there is need for the party’s leadership to walk the talk on violence.

“The harassment is just too much,” said Musemburi,

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is on record saying Zimbabwe will hold credible, peaceful, free and fair elections.

Violence has in the past marred the country’s elections with MDC T supporters being at the receiving end of election related violence.
