As political pressure continues to mount, MDC Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa has contacted South African President and SADC chairperson Cyril
Ramaphosa to stop the harassment of opposition politicians in the country.

Last week six civilians were shot by military personnel in the capital, Harare while several people were assaulted during a ruthless post election crackdown.

In a tweet, Chamisa said the persecution of MDC Alliance officials by the State was totally unjustified and unacceptable. He urged Ramaphosa to intervene in the current political crisis

“The persecution of leaders Tendai Biti, Komichi, Chidziva and other party officials by the state is unjustified and unacceptable.I raised this matter with President Cyril Ramaphosa whom we count on to persuade the perpetrators to halt this unmerited persecution. The weak terrorize!”

Biti was arrested at Chirundu Border Post yesterday. He was deported from Zambia as he sought asylum in that country.
