Students Forced To Register For Zanu PF Militia Training

Zanu PF militia led by Sipho Musarurwa last Friday forced male students at Sotisi High School in Gutu North, Masvingo province to register for Zanu PF militia training upon completion of their examinations. All male students in “O” and “A” Levels at the school were forced to supply their names, age and names of their headmen by Musarurwa’s group.Efforts by the headmaster and teachers to stop the process failed.  The terrified students were told to prepare for Zanu PF militia training once they completed their examinations in December.

The MDC Gutu North MP, Hon. Hamandishe Maramwidze later made a report over the incident at Gutu Police Station. Police investigations showed that Musarurwa was on their wanted persons’ list after absconding trial on charges of assaulting MDC supporters in 2008.  The police have since applied for a warrant of arrest against Musarurwa at Gutu magistrate’s court, which has been
granted.

Meanwhile, Evelyn Gurajena, the MDC Nyazvinzi ward secretary in Gutu North has died. She died last week from injuries sustained when she was attacked by Zanu PF militia in June 2008.  Gurajena was buried before hundreds of MDC supporters last Saturday at Nyazvinzi village. Her husband, Albert
Gurajena, who was an MDC activist, died in September from injuries following an attack by the same youths in June 2008.  The couple left behind five children, three girls and two boys.

Over 500 MDC supporters were killed while thousands were left with life threatening injuries after they were physical attacked by Zanu PF assisted by State security agents in 2008 following Zanu PF’s defeat at the hands of the MDC in the March 2008 elections.
Together, united, winning, ready for real
change!
