Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has scoffed at the president of the Chiefs Council of Zimbabwe Chief Fortune Charumbira\u2019s claims that the opposition party has a hand in sexual assault allegations levelled against him by his 27-year-old niece.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, CCC deputy spokesperson Gift \u201cOstallos\u201d Siziba told NewsDay that the party is against all forms of violence against women. Said Siziba:<\/p>\n

How does CCC get involved in this case? We condemn any form of abuse and violence against women.<\/p>\n

If there was an abuse of power, Charumbira, just like any other citizen, should face the wrath of the law.<\/p>\n

In other democratically progressive countries, Charumbira would have resigned both from PAP and Chiefs\u2019 Council, but because we are in Zimbabwe, he is still a free man.<\/p>\n

Chief Fortune Charumbira, who is also the president of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP), is accused of sexually assaulting his married niece.<\/p>\n

The victim, who is a teacher at a school in Masvingo, reported the matter at Masvingo Central Police Station under RRB 5457646 on Saturday last week.<\/p>\n

According to leaked chats seen by NewsDay, Charumbira accused the victim of \u201cmaliciously\u201d filing the charges against him and conniving with CCC. He said in the leaked chats:<\/p>\n

I know you are working on documentation to go to Canada and run away from Zimbabwe after messing up my name with lies.<\/p>\n

Do not run away. Ndakatosviba kare (my name was long soiled), let\u2019s meet in court.<\/p>\n

As a result of this attack on me, there is a lot of information between you, sekuru Foki and Gari which I know.<\/p>\n

Ndavurawa image pasi rose nenhema kuti (My image has been tarnished worldwide through allegations that) I touched (your) private parts etc kidnapped etc. Whoom! Mwari ndewedu tese (God is for us all).<\/p>\n

Vana (The likes of) Takanayi and other CCC members had several meetings with you to push this agenda.<\/p>\n

I did not think you would agree to falsehoods against me to please them.<\/p>\n

According to a leaked police memorandum, Charumbira allegedly sexually assaulted the complainant on two separate occasions.<\/p>\n

He allegedly fondled the complainant\u2019s breasts, kissed her without her consent, and groped her private parts.<\/p>\n

The alleged assault took place at Rainbow Towers Hotel on 31 March this year and on 02 April at Crown Plaza Hotel, respectively.<\/p>\n
