MDC
Transport Manager abducted, party fears for his life
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
October 28,
2009
Six armed men in a grey
Isuzu last night kidnapped MDC transport manager Pascal Gwezere
from his home in Mufakose, Harare
Gwezere had just arrived
home from work when the six men descended on his home and said he
was under arrest and took him away.
A witness said six men
using a grey Isuzu without number plates came and took him away,
saying he was under arrest.
Today, the men reportedly
came back using a cream Mitsubishi Registration Number AAB 0646
and took away his wife's cellphone. They reportedly told her
that Gwezere had been detained at Marimba police station.
MDC lawyers are desperately
trying to establish whether it is true that he is at Marimba Police
Station.
Over 200 MDC supporters
were abducted and killed last year after Zanu PF unleashed an orgy
of violence in the run-up to the sham June 27 Presidential run-off
election.
Gwezere's abduction
came hours after the attempted kidnapping of Security Administrator
Edith Mashaire in central Harare. Four armed men in an Isuzu truck
Registration Number ABA 8742 tried to kidnap her on her way to work
yesterday morning but were foiled by the crowd.
The MDC fears
for Gwezere's life, which exposes the soured political environment
in the country which flies in the face of the letter and spirit
of the GPA.
The kidnappings come
barely four days after armed police raided an MDC house in Chisipite.
There appears to be a desperate and laughable attempt by Zanu PF
to link the MDC to the disappearance of an arms cache at Pomona
Barracks in Borrowdale. Two MDC MPs, Hon Reggie Moyo (Luveve) and
Hon Albert Mhlanga (Pumula) were arrested at a roadblock in Bulawayo
and detained overnight at Bulawayo Central Police Station on a spurious
allegation that Hon Moyo's car had been used to ferry the
stolen ammunition from Polomona Barracks in Harare.
The two were released
without charge the following morning.
