Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Mines and Mining Development Minister and Sanyati MP, Polite Kambamura has been accused of hiring a militia to violently disrupt a ZANU PF meeting on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The violence erupted at a ZANU PF cell inter-district meeting at Nyimo business centre in Sanyati constituency.<\/p>\n

The case was reported to the police under RRB5413524.<\/p>\n

The hired youth militia was reportedly under instruction to beat up ZANU PF district chairpersons from ARDA, Rusvingo and Nyaunde, perceived as blocking Kambamura\u2019s re-election bid.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF ARDA district chairperson Sylvester Mhirizhonga, who was one of the victims, told NewsDay that they reported the case to the police.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF Rusvingo district chair Joseph Takasungwa claimed that Kambamura came with a truckload of thugs to cause violence. He said:<\/p>\n

The Member of Parliament came with a hired crowd that beat up people, including me.<\/p>\n

Nyaunde district chair Kudakwashe Gwatinyanya said he lost a tooth during the melee and needed medical attention.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF Mashonaland West provincial member Tawanda Tachiona also claimed that Kambamura had sent people to assault party leaders in Sanyati. He said:<\/p>\n

We witnessed district party leaders being beaten up. We are taking those injured to Sanyati Hospital.<\/p>\n

Kambamura, however, distanced himself from the skirmishes, saying \u201cYes, I am in Sanyati, but never witnessed that\u201d.<\/p>\n
