Comment & Analysis
Webster Baipai, one of the victims of the violence bedevilling Nyanga who had his left eye gouged out with a blunt object at Nyakomba Business Centre on February 13 is seen at Nyanga Hospital where he is being treated.

Other victims of the violence are said to be skipping the border to Mozambique.

 

Chief Saunyama, the head of traditional leaders in Manicaland says he wants authority to regulate MDC-T and Zanu PF meetings in Nyanga North because of the violence rocking the constituency.

The chief, who is accused by Nyanga North MP Douglas Mwonzora (MDC-T) of creating friction in the constituency by removing headmen deemed to be against Zanu PF, said the two parties were responsible for the disturbances.

Battles pitting MDC-T and Zanu PF supporters have intensified in Nyanga North after Energy and Power Development deputy minister Hubert Nyanhongo expressed interest in the constituency.
