Foul Play Suspected In Amos Chibaya's Accident
Amos Chibaya, a senior official of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) was this Sunday involved in a ‘near-death’ road accident just before the Runde river on his way from Gweru to Zvishavane.
Some have viewed the accident as an attempt by the President Mnangagwa-led administration to kill the MDC-Alliance organising Secretary.
Among those who suspect foul play is Zimbabwean journalist and filmmaker, Hopewell Chin’ono who is a staunch critic of President Mnangagwa. He posted on twitter saying:
In our country, many opposition leaders/critical voices have been killed through accidents.
Today the MDCA organising secretary Amos Chibaya was involved in an accident.

HIs remarks echo those of MDC activist, Pedzisai Ruhanya also tweeted saying:
ZANU PF politics has graves. The target against MDC Organising Secretary Hon Amos Chibaya is not a mistake. They know he organises the party, supporters and crunch time is waiting Mwonzora, Khupe, Mudzuri and Komichi so MDC @nelsonchamisa must be crippled. Systems footprints.
MDC claims that a Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) operative Norman Kujoka Norman Kujoka, whose car was stationary on the same road facing Hon Chibaya’s vehicle, just made a u-turn in front of Hon Chibaya and caused the crash.
