Mugabe like Smith: Chamisa

Comment & Analysis
GUTU — Information Communication Technology minister Nelson Chamisa said President Robert Mugabe is not different from Rhodesian rebel Prime Minister Ian Smith.

Chamisa made the remarks on Friday at Tsvangirai’s village in Gutu South constituency during the burial of an MDC-T activist who allegedly died of internal injuries after he was attacked by Zanu PF youths.

 

Chamunorwa Choke, who was allegedly beaten for two days at a Zanu PF base at Makwirivindi Township on June 20 2008, died recently at the age of 33.

MDC-T said he never recovered from the injuries. The party said he became the ninth MDC member in Masvingo to die of internal injuries associated with the 2008 violence.

“Smith and Zanu PF violence is just the same,” said Chamisa, who is also the MDC-T spokesman. ­
