Stan Mudenge, Held hostage by his party's youth
Higher and Tertiary Education Minister and Zanu
(PF) politburo member, was held hostage for three hours by his
party youths on Monday.
The youths, believed to be aligned to the Mujuru faction, locked Mudenge in
the Chief's hall where the Masvingo District Coordinating Committee (DCC)
elections were being held.
Riot police led by Chief Superintendent Mavhenjengwa of Masvingo Central
came to Mudenge’s rescue after the Mujuru faction and the one that belongs
to Emmerson Mnangagwa locked horns over the elections.
Mudenge was accused of imposing candidates after he insisted on holding the
elections without those from the Mujuru camp. The Mujuru faction alleged
that it had been agreed that the DCC elections would be suspended for some
time to allow the leadership to agree on a number of outstanding issues.
Police rescued Mudenge, who is aligned to the rival faction, after the
youths threatened to beat him.
“We know these youths were sent by our detractors but we are going to deal
with them accordingly,” said Mudenge.
Trust Mugabe was endorsed as the Masvingo DCC chairman but Dzikamai
Mavhaire, who belongs to the Mujuru camp, rubbished the whole process saying
it was a joke.
“I think Mudenge was joking, he has now completely lost focus – in as far as
I know, there are no elections held for Masvingo DCC,” said Mavhaire.
