Senior national MDC Alliance youth executive members
including the chairman Obey Sithole and organising secretary Godfrey Kurauone
were involved in a high speed chase in the streets of Masvingo with suspected
State security agents on Friday evening, The Mirror has been informed.
Police spokesperson Charity Mazula said she was not aware
of the issue. Martin Mureri of Matutu Mureri Legal Practitioners confirmed the
issue and said he was representing Kurauone in the case.
Kurauone told The Mirror that security agents driving a
Toyota Fortuner without number plates blocked them at Glow Service Station in
the CBD after they addressed commuters on the collapsing economic situation in
the country.
There were three MDC activists in a Mazda Atenza including
the owner Ephraim Mutombeni when they were blocked.
Sensing danger, Mutombeni sped off towards Pick and Pay
along Leopold Takawira Avenue and then turned left into Hughes Street before
being blocked again at the traffic lights at the corner of Robert Mugabe way
and Tongogara Avenue.
They managed to escape again and the security agents
allegedly pursued them along Robert Mugabe Way up to Mucheke High density
suburb where the trio abandoned their car after it ran out of fuel and
disappeared in different directions.
The security agents allegedly impounded the car and Mureri
has told The Mirror that the vehicle is parked at Chikato Police Station in
Mucheke. Masvingo Mirror
