A leaked intelligence report mapping out strategies of how
to deal with MDC Alliance demos in Chiredzi District has sent chills down the
spines of activists.
The report which was confirmed by several sources as an
authentic document from the Chiredzi District Joint Operations Command
specifies which individuals to put under surveillance, how to deal with them
and thwart any machinations.
Activists who talked to The Mirror said the report is
disturbing particularly in view of the rising number of alleged abductions in
the country.
In Chiredzi there are a number of activists who have
disappeared in the past including ZESA manager Dumisani Hapazari in 2008 and
Kariborn Nyemba. Nyemba later escaped from his abductors but the whereabouts of
Hapazari are still unknown.
The report which was prepared on August 16 2019 accused MDC
leaders in Chiredzi of planning to host a heavily armed insurgence team from
South Africa to destabilie the district.
The report placed six MDC members including Chiredzi Town
Council Chairman Gibson Hwende, former MP for Zaka West Festus Dumbu and
Chiredzi MDC District Chairperson James Kampota as potential threats.
Other people named as security threats are Menias Gangata
who is an MDC activist and one named Sisokisi.
The homes of Gangata, Dumbu, Hwende, Gilbert Mutubuki, and
Kampota were identified as potential threats.
When contacted for comment Dumbu said MDC did not seek to
unseat the Zanu PF Government through unconstitutional means.
“I saw the report but it`s fortunate that it leaked to the
public but we know that they always track us,” said Dumbu. Masvingo Mirror
