In 2002 before the Presidential election she led a group of
Stormtroopers to my village homestead and accused my mother of hiding firearms
that were alleged to belong to me. My mother went through a nightmare on
accusations that shocked her to her death.
Shuvai Ben Mahofa had just won the Gutu South parliamentary
elections under the trail of terror and violence which was commanded by one
Masasire from Vhunjere and a Colonel who was her boyfriend from 4.2 Infantry
Battalion from Gutu.
She went to our village and tormented my mother with a
barrage of accusations and unleashed the Zanu PF militias against my mother who
was looking after our home. They destroyed the homestead and stole some money
my mother kept under her pillow. She went about telling everyone that
"maona zvataita paSikhala, toda kukupedzai mose". Fear gripped
everyone in Gutu South. She was ruthless and heartless against those she
thought
were opposed to her.
In June 27, 2008 she partook into a veil of violence that is
scripted all over Gutu. When she was appointed the Resident Minister for
Masvingo she promised to kill everyone in Bikita West when she was campaigning
for Betty Chabaya if Bikitans fail to vote for the Zan PF candidate after the
conviction of Munyaradzi Kereke. She had no respect for other people's lives.
She always spoke as if she was the giver and taker of life.
We never thought kuti vanhu ivava vanotofawo. Though in our culture afa anaka,
wherever she is she now, she must know that those who died because of her
instigation also deserved to live their lives to the end.
