THE recent violent assault on elderly Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) members in Murehwa North by suspected Zanu PF activists has left the district divided.

The divisions emerged following the arrest of a Zanu PF member and war veteran Never Chimutashu in connection with the attack that was recorded on a video which has gone viral on social media platforms.

Chimutashu is reportedly also a member of a Zanu PF affiliate group called Heritage that is mainly headlined by war veterans.

Some Zanu PF leaders in Murehwa, who anonymously spoke to NewsDay said the move was miscalculated and unnecessary and has brought a negative image to the party in the area.

The victims of the torture, from Bhunu area in ward 4, have been taken to a safe house in Harare where they are receiving medical and psychological attention.

The assault is said to have been organised at Murehwa Centre during a national clean-up exercise that was attended by mainly Zanu PF supporters.

The supporters had converged at Murehwa growth point after they were told that a member of the presidium was going to address them following the planned clean-up exercise, but none of the leaders showed up.

The youths were reportedly mobilised by Mashonaland East provincial youth league secretary for finance Timothy Gowo, according to leaked chats.

Gowo who owns some buses is also a Zanu PF aspiring candidate for Murehwa West constituency.

According to information leaked on social media, the ruling party’s  Murehwa district co-ordination committee leadership okayed the release of a party vehicle to ferry the youths to ward 4 where the violence occurred.

The other vehicle reportedly belonged to Gowo.

Repeated efforts to obtain a comment from Gowo since Wednesday were fruitless.

Some Zanu PF officials in Murehwa have openly castigated the attack.

A top Zanu PF official told this paper that the issue has divided the party in the district which could possibly affect its standing in the forthcoming election.

“Murehwa is currently fractured and this has been worsened by the recent violence in Bhunu,” the official told NewsDay, but preferring to remain anonymous.

“The provincial and district leadership erred. There was no need for violence, and worse of that magnitude. The perpetrators are known, the process is clear, it is not a secret. We now have two camps in this area and this will affect us as far as election results are concerned,” added the official.

In a statement, Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial chairperson and Murehwa North constituency legislator Daniel Garwe distanced his party from the attacks.

RUNNING battles erupted in Goromonzi yesterday between police and an estimated over 1 000 Zanu PF youths who had invaded a farm before pegging and allocating themselves pieces of land.

Several of the youths were arrested by anti-riot police and the area was tense when NewsDay visited the farm.

NewsDay gathered that the restless Zanu PF youths had been promised stands by some ruling party officials and allegedly decided to invade the farm in frustration after the party bosses started dithering.

The farm is Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Lyndhurst Farm and is reportedly owned by one Maxwell Muziwi, a former top State security officer, according to sources.

The farm is adjacent to Epworth.

According to sources in the area, the impatient Zanu PF youths were directed to peg stands by some party heavyweights in return for votes.

Sources said disturbances at the property started early this week when land barons linked to the party invaded the farm and started pegging stands, courting the ire of Epworth squatters who were eyeing the same land.

NewsDay visited the area yesterday and discovered that stands had been pegged with stones and plastics.

Yesterday, the place was deserted, but tension gripping the air, after police made some arrests and chased away the land invaders.

“We came here in the morning as police and have been engaged in running battles with some people who were pegging stands at the farm,” said a police officer who requested not to be identified.

“Some Mbare people came first and squatters from Greenvalley, Pentagon and Epworth squatters were not happy because they felt that the land was supposed to be allocated to them. The invasion is just a political thing as we are going for elections.”

Although no comment could be obtained from Zanu PF, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, said he was investigating the matter.

“Let me find out with police on the ground,” Nyathi said.

In the past Zanu PF has been accused of using land to woo voters.

In 2022 ahead of the March by-elections, the ruling party promised to dish out title deeds to people who had illegally occupied land in Epworth.

Government later made an U-turn saying people settled on illegally designated residential areas will not get the land ownership documents.

Political party-linked land barons have also been duping desperate and unsuspecting home seekers, allocating them illegally acquired land even in wetlands.

The desperate homeseekers have been left counting losses after government and councils razed properties built on illegally acquired land.

In November, Cabinet announced that government would descend heavily on land barons and illegal settlements.

Last year, 347 land barons were arrested, with 91 cases before the courts, 57 finalised and six convictions.

In December last year, Zanu PF national youth league secretary for education Shepherd Marime and his colleague Denver Mudiwa were arrested after they led a group of people to invade land at Greenways in Mabelreign, Harare.

About 30 stands had been sold.

Zanu PF spokesperson Chsritopher Mutsvangwa in December last year said the ruling party had no place for land barons, who he described as criminals abusing the party’s name.

“We don’t support such behaviour and we don’t allow such in the party. In fact, we don’t view these elements as party people. They are people who are using the name of the party for their criminal enterprises, and the President (Emmerson Mnangagwa) has made it very clear that government will pursue them. They can go to jail,” Mutsvangwa told NewsDay in December

He added: “Government is currently rationalising all the land allocations, bearing in mind that all land belongs to the State.   Land barons took advantage and grabbed some of the land which was recovered during the sequel of the land reform programme. Once you begin to behave like that, don’t try to put the badge of Zanu PF on your forehead. You are just a criminal and that’s it.”

If you want to be in the role of a monster with unique strength and abilities, this list of games is exactly what you need. Top 3 games where you can play as a monster:

  • SCP: Secret Laboratory
  • Legacy of Kain
  • Natural Selection 2

If you want to get access to a wide choice of video games of various genres, try online gaming on Game Karma and enjoy multiple games from the best developers.

SCP: Secret Laboratory

A free-to-play multiplayer horror game based on the online SCP Foundation project. The game takes place in an underground complex where SCP objects (dangerous supernatural creatures) were isolated and studied. After a sudden containment breach, some of them managed to get out of their cells. In addition to anomalous creatures, in a complex isolated from the rest of the world, as if in a trap, there were D-class personnel (guinea pigs), scientists, and guards, as well as the Chaos Insurgency and MTF forces who arrived to help.

All of these characters, including some of the monsters, are playable and have their own tasks. Moreover, the mechanics of the game for each of the six sides (and especially for SCP objects) involves its own nuances that require preliminary study and understanding. SCP: Secret Laboratory is an unusual and rather complex online game in the multiplayer horror genre with the participation of user-controlled monsters.

Legacy of Kain

A series of games with RPG elements, offering to play as the vampire Kain and the ghost Raziel. The first one drinks blood and uses dark magic against people he considers an inferior race. The second is the messenger of one of the gods of Nosgoth who returned from the world of the dead. Armed with the Soul Eater blade and able to move between the material and spiritual worlds, Raziel rebels against Kain and tries to thwart his dark plans.

It is worth noting that the presence of two such unusual and monstrous protagonists at once is not the only pleasant feature of the series. The very environment and atmosphere of the world of Nosgoth, where Legacy of Kain takes place, together with an exciting story, make a very pleasant impression. In general, Legacy of Kain can be considered one of the best series among all the dark fantasy games with monsters as protagonists.

Natural Selection 2

An online shooter with strategy elements in which one part of the players acts as fighters of the human race, and the other part — as monstrous aliens. Each side has its unique classes. For example, alien players can choose from lifeforms such as Fade (able to become invisible), Skulk (fast and able to move along walls), Lerk (a flying monster that spreads poisonous gas), and others.

In addition to unique classes, each side has its own commanders who coordinate the actions of the fighters and help them install all sorts of strategic objects on the battlefield. For example, the alien commander is able to expand the territory of infection and create new monsters.
