Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Scores of Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) members were injured when supporters of the ruling ZANU PF stormed the opposition party\u2019s rally in Insiza on Monday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The party announced on Monday that its Member of Parliament (MP) for Bulawayo Metropolitan, Jasmine Toffa<\/b> and a group of CCC members were badly injured following an attack by \u201csuspected ZANU PF thugs in Insiza.\u201d Added the party:<\/p>\n

The thugs stole her handbag, personal belongings, money & fuel coupons & smashed vehicle windscreens.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that suspected ZANU PF supporters driving in a convoy stormed a CCC party by-election campaign meeting in Insiza, beating up activists, and smashing and pouring sand into vehicle engines.<\/p>\n

CCC spokesperson, Fadzayi Mahere<\/b> also posted on Twitter reiterating the reports. She said:<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve received a report that the thugs are pouring sand into the vehicle engines. They have stolen Hon Toffa\u2019s handbag, personal belongings, money & fuel coupons. They\u2019ve smashed windscreens. Hon Toffa & others are badly injured.<\/p>\n

The attack allegedly happened at party candidate Augustine Gumede\u2019s homestead, some 40km from Filabusi, where party followers were gathered.<\/p>\n

The campaign meeting was convened to mobilise support for Gumede ahead of a council by-election in Insiza\u2019s Ward 4.<\/p>\n

In a message he recorded on his mobile and circulated on WhatsApp, Gumede sent a distress call from his hideout in the bush, according to ZimLive. He is quoted as saying:<\/p>\n

The situation at my homestead is very bad. People are injured and desperate to be taken to hospital. Toffa\u2019s car has been damaged, Angilacala\u2019s vehicle and mine have been damaged.<\/p>\n

All my home windows have been smashed and all my property damaged.<\/p>\n

I have been left with nothing and have nowhere to start.<\/p>\n

As I speak, we are hiding in the bush, our car tyres were stabbed and deflated.<\/p>\n

Gumede said police were called via phone but were yet to render any assistance.<\/p>\n
