The rural home of the MDC national organising secretary, Hon. Elias Mudzuri was early this morning attacked by a group of armed Zanu PF men in military uniform in Zaka, Masvingo.

His 80 year-old father was badly injured during the attack while two relatives including Hon. Mudzuri’s young brother were shot in legs and they are now admitted in hospital.

Hon. Mudzuri is also the MP for Warren Park and former Harare mayor.

Property at the homestead including farming implements was looted.

Over ten Zanu PF thugs descended in a pick-up truck with no number plates at the Mudzuri homestead at 4.00 am and ordered everyone to wake up.

They were ordered to lie down before they were severely assaulted.  The looted property was loaded into the truck.

Several senior MDC members and MPs including MDC spokesperson, Hon. Nelson Chamisa and Mbare MP, Piniel Denga have had their rural homes attacked and relatives beaten up by armed Zanu PF militia.
