Three MDC activists abducted in Chegutu

Three MDC activists were abducted from their homes in Gadzema Township this afternoon by some Zanu PF activists driving a White Nissan Elgrand. The three are Tichaona Gombingo, Christon Banda and Masimba Madombwe.

The Zanu PF thugs, led by Judha and Giga, Zanu PF leaders in ward 21, drove into the township this afternoon and rounded up residents in Gadzema Township in search of MDC activists who attended an MDC provincial rally which was held on Sunday in Chegutu East.

The whereabouts of the three are still unknown. The MDC fears for their lives as Zanu PF has stepped up its violence activities as the nation heads for a watershed election.

The incident comes barely a week after a group of Soldiers ran amok in Zhombe and beat up elderly men and women for attending an MDC rally. Zanu PF's Jabulani Sibanda has been preaching violence in Nyanga. Lately Zanu PF has stepped up its violent campaign against opposition leaders and members putting prospects of a free and fair election next year into serious doubt. It is disturbing that as the nation prepares for the watershed plebiscite earmarked for next year, Zanu PF continues to perfect its machinery of Violence.

It is clear from these ugly scenes that Zanu PF is not committed to a peaceful free and fair election next year. The sunset party is in a state of panic and is determined to plunge the nation into chaos and bloodshed before elections next year.

As MDC we remain committed to peaceful, free and fair environment before, during and after 2013 elections. We call upon every responsible patriotic citizen and international community to condemn these barbaric acts by Zanu PF as we approach the all important 2013 plebiscite.
