Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) supporters in Mabvuku -Tafara Constituency have accused Pedzai \u201cScott\u201d Sakupwanya<\/b>, who is the ZANU PF candidate in the 09 December by-elections, of the abduction and subsequent murder of Tapfumaneyi Masaya.<\/p>\n

Masaya was abducted in broad daylight while conducting door-to-door campaigns for CCC\u2019s candidate Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi who is running against Sakupwanya.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com<\/b> at Masaya\u2019s funeral wake in Mabvuku, CCC supporters who declined to be named for fear of the police claimed they saw the abduction unfolding before their eyes.<\/p>\n

They alleged that Sakupwanya\u2019s runners and supporters were responsible for the abduction.<\/p>\n

One of the residents who claims to have witnessed Masaya\u2019s kidnapping was quoted as saying:<\/p>\n

It is clear that this is Sakupwanya\u2019s doing but we do not know how saying this will be interpreted by the police considering what (Job) Sikhala is going through.<\/p>\n

He knows we know that it was him and the same thugs whose names we gave to the police know that they were seen.<\/p>\n

Our hope is that the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) acts on what it has been told at least so that just is partly served.<\/p>\n

CCC activist and Mabvuku resident Tonderai Dombo told NewZimbabwe.com that they are now fearing for their lives as Masaya was not a senior member of the party. Said Dombo:<\/p>\n

We do not know why they would do all this though. Masaya was neither a senior member of this movement to have influence that could attract such a reaction. This shows that we are all in danger.<\/p>\n

Masaya, who was a pastor at Pillar of the World Church, left behind his wife Maria Zhuwawo and their three children.<\/p>\n
