Zanu PF Councilor Allegedly Attacks CCC Activists With Axe Over Free Presidential Agricultural InputsA Zanu PF councilor last Friday hacked a member of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change with a machete after he asked for free state-funded presidential agricultural inputs. According to an online publication, NewZimbabwe.com, Mashonaland West CCC member, Wonder Matashu of Kapfunde communal lands, was sustained serious head injuries when he was attacked by Ward 12 councillor Christ Mudengezerwa. Matashu, a well-known CCC activist, said he reported the matter to the local police but Mudengezerwa has not yet been arrested. Police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, was unreachable for comment as he was not responding to calls on his mobile phone.
