8 accused of violenceBeitbridge Bureau.
Eight Zanu-PF youths from Dulibadzimu suburb have appeared before a Beitbridge magistrate on allegations of attacking residents in the border town. Hlupeka Phiri (37), Vengai Ngwenya (28), Brian Mangena (21), Petros Matare (26), Bernard Zvenyika (31), John Vhudzijena (22), Micahel Ndlovu (22) and Albert Takavada (29) were not asked to plead to two counts of public violence when they appeared before Mr Tawengwa Sangster on Tuesday.
They were all remanded in custody to July 25 for trial. The State alleges that on June 8 this year at around 11:30pm the eight — acting in common purpose — and wearing Zanu-PF regalia went to house number 1732 in Dulibadzimu.
They gathered outside singing revolutionary songs before smashing windowpanes worth $6 trillion and threatening to beat up the owner. Soon after committing the offence, they disappeared chanting party slogans.
On the same night, they went to another house number 2445 in the same area where they knocked violently demanding the owner to come out.
When he got out, they punched and kicked him accusing him of supporting losing independent presidential candidate Simba Makoni.
After that, they disappeared into the darkness and the complainant who sustained some injuries was later rushed to Beitbridge District Hospital for treatment by neighbours. — Beitbridge Bureau.
