ZANU-PF factions clash in Bulawayo over Kasukuwere

Mokgohloa said the war veterans chairman Cephas Ncube accused her of being Kasukuwere’s prostitute before attacking her.

 

“He called me Kasukuwere’s prostitute and said I will soon follow Cde Sandi before grabbing my breasts. He said he was looking for a knife that he claimed I was hiding between my breasts. He claimed I had given the weapon to Cosmas Ncube to stab Charumbira.

“I tried to run away but he overpowered me. He teamed up with other war veterans to beat me up and they injured my forehead and leg,” she said.

Charumbira said he was attacked by youths who accused him of organising demonstrations against the provincial executive.

“They attacked me with stones and knobkerries. Cosmas Ncube stabbed me with a knife. This was after they accused me of mobilising people to demonstrate against the chairman and his people,” he was quoted as saying.

“We’re having a lot of problems as a province and these issues should be resolved once and for all. These include the formation of parallel structures by Cde Kasukuwere through the provincial executive, co-opting of executive members in the youth league and imposing of executive members.”

Kasukuwere travelled to Mexico with President Robert Mugabe on Friday.
