CCC activist murdered as violence flares

A CITIZENS Coalition for Change (CCC) activist was yesterday stoned to death by a suspected Zanu PF member near Tanaka grounds in Glen View, Harare, as political temperatures rise ahead of the August 23 elections.

The CCC activist, Tinashe Chitsunge, from Glen View was hit with a stone while trying to flee from a suspected Zanu PF mob which had gone on the rampage against opposition activists who had gathered at the ground to hold a rally.

The attack came shortly before CCC party leader Nelson Chamisa’s convoy was attacked with stones by suspected Zanu PF activists yesterday evening in Mutasa, Manicaland province, after addressing a rally.
