First it was a violent attack on the home of Sekuru Seremani in Murewa now it’s a violent attack on the home of Hon Machingauta in Budiriro! @ZANUPF_Official must stop attacking the homes of our members. Instead of campaigning on ideas, you terrorise & arrest! Varikukwata!

The party also posted via its Twitter handle:

🟡The @PoliceZimbabwe have arrested our Change Champion, Hon Amos Chibaya & other Change Champions who were attending a private meeting in Harare this morning. They’re currently detained at Budiriro Police Station. The charges are unclear. We demand their immediate release.

The arrests come as the party is calling for the release of Job Sikhala, MP for Zengeza West who has been in prison since June 2022 for allegedly inciting public violence which erupted at the funeral wake of slain CCC activist Moreblessing Ali. 

The party say Sikhala is a political prisoner and is innocent.
