FORMER Labour deputy minister, Tracy Mutinhiri yesterday said her family is now living in fear after suspected Zanu PF supporters allegedly tried to abduct her son.

The alleged abduction attempt came two months after the death of the former Zanu PF MP’s daughter, Belinda in a mysterious car accident. She believes her daughter was murdered.
Mutinhiri, who is now an MDC-T activist after falling out with the ruling party, claimed she had information about people that were plotting to abduct members of her family.
This comes after she raised the red flag over the death of her daughter Belinda who died in a road accident in September.
Mutinhiri said she had never tasted peace after her troubles with Zanu PF.
She claimed to have information concerning a basketball academy, which offered her son (name withheld) a coaching job in a bid to lure him into South Africa where they were allegedly going to make him “disappear.”
“There are people studying patterns and interests of my children,” she said.

“ In the case of my son, basketball is his passion and they offered him a coaching job through this dubious academy so that they travel to South Africa from where he was not going to come back ever again.”
Mutinhiri said she went around gathering information about the academy and authorities disowned it, prompting her to press the panic baton.
She said she then received information on the planned abduction allegedly orchestrated by people within Zanu PF.
Asked why she and her family would be targeted, the sobbing Mutinhiri responded: “I don’t know. I was once in Zanu PF and I was expelled. I then joined a party of my choice.”
“I don’t know why they are following me now. Suddenly they are targeting me and my children.
“My other child Belinda died in unclear circumstances and they are planning this once again,” she added.
“These are people from Zanu PF and I don’t know what amuses them by killing people.
“I don’t know why they don’t value people’s lives.
“Something must be done and these culprits must be brought to book and must be exposed.
“I don’t know why they enjoy causing agony for another person.”
Mutinhiri said she had information to support her claims that Belinda was murdered.
The former Marondera East MP and ex-Zanu PF women’s league political commissar, said she was not afraid of exposing those trailing her family.
