By Farai D Hove | ZimEye | Harare, Zimbabwe – Happymore Chidziva, a Member of Parliament (MP) for the opposition party Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), is reportedly evading arrest after a controversial video surfaced, showing him in an inappropriate setting with two teenage girls. The MP, already facing serious accusations of rape, appears in the video in a compromising situation that has led to public outcry and intensified law enforcement efforts to apprehend him.
In the disturbing video, Chidziva is seen sitting on a bed with the two girls, one of whom affectionately calls him “Kule,” a Shona term that translates to “uncle.” The teenagers are singing “Happy Birthday” to him while the MP, at one point, makes an inappropriate gesture by caressing one of the girls’ breasts. The scene has prompted significant backlash, particularly given Chidziva’s ongoing legal troubles.
During the video, Chidziva is heard joking about his age, stating, “I am 41 minus 20 years old,” attempting to present himself as youthful, while one of the girls laughs. The casual tone and the apparent comfort between the MP and the young girls, combined with his inappropriate contact, have raised alarm bells in both public and legal circles.
Chidziva’s rape accuser is not among the girls seen in the video, but this latest revelation has amplified calls for swift legal action against the MP. Police have confirmed that they are actively pursuing Chidziva, who is evading arrest. His current whereabouts remain unknown, but authorities are intensifying efforts to locate him.
This video has brought new urgency to the public conversation about the conduct of those in public office. As a married man and a public figure, Chidziva’s involvement in such a scenario, regardless of the ongoing legal accusations, has drawn sharp criticism for its impropriety.
The CCC has yet to release an official statement in response to the viral footage, and it remains to be seen how the party will address the growing controversy surrounding one of its MPs. Public figures, including members of the government and legal experts, have condemned the behavior displayed in the video, highlighting concerns over the MP’s moral integrity and responsibility.
As law enforcement intensifies efforts to track down Chidziva, the Zimbabwean public is watching closely, with calls for justice growing louder. This latest development in Chidziva’s case adds to the scrutiny around his character and his fitness to serve as an MP, with many urging authorities to ensure that justice is served without
