Around 2:30am we heard loud gunshots and shortly afterwards
we heard massive water pouring from our water tank.
The gunshots continued for about 20 seconds with the
magnitude suggesting that it was an automatic assault weapon used. We then
heard a car fast speeding off from the scene. We later went out and realised that
at least 30 shots had been fired with about 10 hitting the water tank. Shots
were fired at my car which was parked inside. other shots hit the house walls
and some hit our gate.
We think that by
first attacking the water tank they wanted us to come outside the house so they
could shoot us directly, our saving grace was that the gates were locked and
there was no way they could beseech them. I know this is the work of evil
people who target politicians who are just doing their job which is to bring
prosperity to Zimbabwe. I am not shaken by such cowardice, I rather feel sorry
for those who are sent to do this. I will remain on the side of peace loving
Zimbabweans and i will not stop to hold this government to account. I am
determined to continue doing my job and representing the people i serve with
due diligence.
I remain
Hon Caston Matewu
MP Marondera Central
