ZEC Says to Investigate Zanu-PF Bindura Rally Mayhem |
2018-07-11 |
[All Africa] The Zim-bob-we Electoral Commission (ZEC) says it is investigating skirmishes that broke out during President Emmerson Mnangagwa's Bindura rally weekend resulting in scores beaten up and injured by police. The embarrassing incident happened in the middle of Mnangagwa's rally address when some party followers started trooping out of Chipadze Stadium, inviting the wrath of the police, army and some Border Gezi youths who could not stomach seeing scores walk out on the President. The stampede was reportedly triggered by a Zanu PF supporter who had shouted that buses that brought them to the venue were about to leave Chipadze stadium, according to state media. Some independent media reports however, pointed to disturbances caused by people who had had enough of Mnangagwa's long address under chilly weather conditions. |
