Unknown people on Monday night painted threatening graffiti
on Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda’s Bulawayo law firm, Mudenda
Attorneys.
Mudenda has been criticised for recalling four MDC Alliance
legislators after Douglas Mwonzora, acting as MDC-T secretary-general, wrote to
Parliament recommending their recall.
The recall of Prosper Mutseyami, Chalton Hwende, Tabitha
Khumalo and Lillian Timveous followed a Supreme Court ruling which declared
Nelson Chamisa an illegitimate leader of the MDC.
MDC-T acting leader Thokozani Khupe was confirmed by the
same court as the legitimate leader of the party relying on the 2014 structures
when she was deputy to the late founding MDC president Morgan Tsvangirai.
“We are coming for you! You will regret! You work for
Satan! Ediots! Next Stop-Your Houses! We know you All,” are some of the
threatening messages painted on the precast wall.
Mudenda told Southern Eye that he had reported the matter
to police.
“Security is attending to that. It’s a matter with the
police,” Mudenda said, adding, “I cannot speculate (on suspects) at the moment.
I do not want to comment until the security investigations have been
concluded.”
Bulawayo police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Abednico
Ncube said they were yet to receive the report.
In October 2019, Mudenda sparked chaos in Parliament when
he upheld a position by Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi that MDC Alliance MPs
should not ask Cabinet ministers questions since they did not recognise
President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The MDC Alliance disputes Mnangagwa’s legitimacy citing
vote fraud in the 2018 harmonised elections. MDC Alliance legislators had
walked out on Mnangagwa when he attended Parliament.
In December, Mudenda was dragged to court by the opposition
party for blocking payment of sitting allowances for its lawmakers as
punishment for walking out on Mnangagwa when he was presenting his state of the
nation address. Newsday
