Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi, who was running as the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) candidate for the Mabvuku-Tafara constituency in the 23-24 August 2023 harmonised elections, has been arrested. He has been charged with assault and malicious property damage, according to Prosper Mkwananzi, the party\u2019s spokesperson. Said Mkwananzi on X:<\/p>\n

Alert: Hon @KufaMunyaof Mabvuku-Tafara constituency is currently held at Harare Central Police and will soon be taken to Rotten Row Magistrates Court on trumped-up charges of assault and malicious damage to property.<\/p>\n

Kufahakutizwi who was elected Member of Parliament for Mabvuku-Tafara Constituency in the 23 August 2023 harmonised elections recently called on Zimbabweans to stand up and defend themselves against ZANU PF<\/b>\u2019s disregard for the constitution.<\/p>\n

He was commenting on the High Court order which barred him from contesting in the Mabvuku-Tafara constituency by-election to fill the vacant post which became vacant when he was recalled from Parliament by Sengezo Tshabangu. He said:<\/p>\n

They are squeezing us to the bone and pushing us towards a One-Party State.
\nWe believe that they did this to attain a two-thirds majority so they amend the constitution and allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to be a life president.<\/p>\n

As Zimbabweans, it is high time we stand up because we cannot continue being ruled by this heartless government. People are really angry.<\/p>\n

They took away the life of an innocent pastor who was campaigning; if they had known that they would just take the seat they should have spared his life because now they have destroyed his family\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

He was referring to the murder of Tapfumaneyi Masaya, a clergyman and activist for the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party, who was allegedly abducted and later found dead<\/b> in Harare. The CCC claims that Masaya suffered severe injuries and his body had decomposed due to the injection of a harmful substance.<\/p>\n

Masaya was abducted while campaigning for Kufahakutizwi who had been recalled by Tshabangu who claims to be the CCC\u2019s interim secretary-general.<\/p>\n
