A DRUNKEN Zanu PF supporter in Mvurwi reportedly went
berserk and whipped a six-year-old boy for chanting MDC Alliance leader Nelson
Chamisa’s slogan.
Norman Mafa (37) appeared before Guruve resident magistrate
Shingirai Mutiro yesterday facing assault charges.
He pleaded not guilty but was remanded in custody to Friday
for trial. Prosecutor Albert Mazhindu told the court that on August 6, a
drunken Mafa, who was wearing Zanu PF party regalia, met a group of young boys
at Gem Farm in Mvurwi.
The young boys, aged between six and seven, allegedly
started chanting Chamisa’s slogans, enraging Mafa who picked a stick and chased
after them.
The court heard that Mafa caught up with the complainant
and severely whipped him, only to release him after noticing blood gushing out
of his legs.
The boy was rushed to Mvurwi Hospital where he received
medical attention. Newsday
