Chipangano disrupts MDC rally in Chitungwiza

The Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC) has reportedly identified the culprits
who disrupted their rally at Chibuku Stadium, Chitungwiza on Sunday.
However, police's inept attitude and reluctance to apprehend
the culprits has raised much concern. Reports reveal that they have
arrested and detained the victims (members of the MDC).
The identified
culprits according to the MDC are largely members of the notorious
Mbare based ZANU PF you Militia, Chipangano. They include Jim Kunaka,
the ZANU PF Harare Province Youth Chairperson, ZANU PF's Chitungwiza
Distric Coordinating Committee (DCC) Chairperson, Wilfred Gwekwete,
Luke Luke of Ward 25. Chitungwiza North and Godknows Muzenda, a
ZANU PF Harare Youth provincial member. Others include Nyasha Dziva,
Chitungwiza DCC secretary, Dennis Fisher, Lloyd Bhunu, Tichaona
Chapfika and Tonderai Kasukwere. Kasukwere is young brother to ZANU
PF Politburo member Saviour Kasukwere.
Ironically,
the police are now targeting and arresting known MDC youths in Chitungwiza
who were attacked while preparing for the cleared rally by overzealous
thugs from ZANU PF. Julius Marambakutongwa and Kuda Muchemwa, (both
MDC youths) are said to be in detention at St. Mary's police
station Chitungwiza for allegedly causing the mayhem.
Meanwhile the
same suspected group, (Chipangano) is accused of stalling developmental
projects in communities. They have recently been implicated in the
transfer of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation US$5million housing
scheme from Mbare to Dzivarasekwa. It is said that the project had
to be moved after the gang demanded 51% of the houses. The project
would have seen new housing units being built for the poor in Mbare.
Harare Mayor Muchadeyi Masunda is said to have admitted that they
had to move the project to Dzivarasekwa because they risked losing
out on the funding if they gave in to Chipangao's outrageous
demands.
