Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa has reported that its Member of Parliament for Bulawayo Metropolitan was this Monday attacked and injured by suspected \u201cZANU PF thugs.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement seen by Pindula News, the party said the assailants also attacked a group of CCC supporters in Insiza and stole their belongings. Reads the statement:<\/p>\n

VIOLENCE ALERT: MP for Bulawayo Metropolitan, Hon Jasmine Toffa & a group of CCC members have been badly injured following an attack by suspected Zanu PF thugs in Insiza today. The thugs stole her handbag, personal belongings, money & fuel coupons & smashed vehicle windscreens.<\/p>\n

This comes after the police warned political parties and supporters to be responsible and shun all forms of violence after the two parties clashed in Matobo ahead of Ward 2 by-elections.<\/p>\n

The CCC said its two legislators, Daniel Molokele and Kucaca Phulu, were \u201cviolently attacked\u201d by ZANU PF members while mobilising voters ahead of the by-elections.<\/p>\n

Intra-party and inter-party violence escalated just before the 26 March by-elections and since then, cases of violence are being recorded periodically, raising fears that the 2023 harmonised elections will likely be violent.<\/p>\n

There is a possibility that the United Nations will supervise the 2023 polls to avoid \u201canother disputed election.\u201d<\/p>\n
