The Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference (ZCBC) has condemned the recent violence perpetrated against elderly villagers in Murehwa North perceived to be CCC supporters by suspected ZANU PF activists.
In a statement issued on 12 January 2023, and signed by ZCBC president Rt. Rev Paul Horan and vice president Rt. Rev Raymond Mupandasekwa, the bishops demanded the arrest and prosecution of the assailants as well as the provision of support to the victims of the violence by authorities. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
We the members of the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference (ZCBC) would want to condemn the barbaric act of violence captured on a video that circulated on social media over the weekend. 
The most disturbing thing is that the violent acts are meted out against senior citizens, people who should be enjoying the rights brought about by our independence. 
What is more worrisome is that the violence captured in the video is politically related. A voice can be heard asking the senior citizens as to what a particular political party has done for them. 
As the nation heads towards the harmonized elections, we urge all political players to desist from the use of violence and the use of young people to commit violent crimes. 
Violence should not be employed to gain political mileage. The people’s fundamental rights should be respected at all times. 
Citizens of this nation have rights enshrined in our Constitution. Among those rights is the freedom of choice, association and political rights.
We would like to urge all parties to be responsible in their campaigns. Sell to the people your ideologies, and convince them with your arguments. As you do so, respect their choices. 
There is no citizen who should be intimidated or coerced, and worse still, be beaten to make a choice. That speaks against human dignity. 
As a nation we have in the past seen a lot of violence around elections; let this election be different.
The people of this country dream and yearn for a free, credible and fair election. It’s not the casting of ballots that ascertains that, it’s the environment we create before, during and after elections. 
It is therefore incumbent on the government, political parties, and all institutions that we create a level playing field. 
Equal opportunities should be given to all who want to participate in this coming election. There should be no fear or favour. 
Heinous violent crimes such as the one captured on the ‘Murehwa video’ should be condemned by all parties.
We, therefore, call for zero tolerance to violence. The culture of violence speaks against the moral fabric of our society. 
To curb nurturing such a culture we call upon the government through its various institutions to bring the perpetrators of violence to justice and may the victims of that violence be protected and given the necessary care.

Catholic Bishops Condemn Murewa North Violence

Police have arrested two more suspects in connection with the assault of elderly CCC supporters in Murewa North constituency recently.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi identified the two suspects as Paul Kachigu (34) and Dignity Nadzo (31). Said Asst Comm Nyathi:
<blockquote>
Reference is made to the ZRP’s press statement dated 10/01/23. The ZRP confirms the arrest of two other suspects, Paul Kachigu (34) and Dignity Nadzo (31) in connection with the case of alleged political violence which occurred in Murewa North on 06/01/23.
Investigations are underway to account for the other suspects.
</blockquote>
On 10 January, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/police-arrest-senior-citizen-for-murewa-north-political-violence/">Nyathi confirmed the arrest of Never Chimutashu (67)</a> in connection with the violence.
The brutal assault, which was apparently filmed by one of the assailants, showed elderly opposition supporters being flogged, kicked and stepped on for supporting CCC.

Police Arrest Two More Suspects Over Murewa North Violence

CCC has blamed remarks by President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantino Chiwenga for violence against the opposition party’s supporters by ZANU PF youths in the Murewa North constituency recently.
The brutal assault, which was apparently filmed by one of the assailants, showed elderly opposition supporters being flogged, kicked and stepped on for supporting CCC.
CCC national spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the violence should be understood in the context of past utterances by Mnangagwa and Chiwenga. Said Mahere:
<blockquote>
It is important to state that this is not an isolated incident, it is part of a wide pattern of violence that has permeated our electoral landscape ever since the CCC was formed on January 24, 2022.
We have seen in almost every province violence perpetrated by ZANU PF and that violence must be understood in the context that the deputy leader of ZANU PF actually called for the CC to be crushed like lice.
It is also in the context that the leader of Zanu PF actually called for CCC supporters to be beaten up, vakombei murove.
He went so far as saying we should be hunted. We have on record members of ZANU PF calling for the killing of CCC Nelson Chamisa, our members’ homes to be burnt, for them to be killed because they are sellouts.
We have seen this in Matopo, Insiza, Mberengwa, Gutu, Chipinge and this is a reaction to the mass mobilisation strategy, Mugwazo.
The CCC has penetrated every single village town and city, something ZANU PF did not expect or budget for.
Recent incidences of violence have proved that rural areas are not ZANU PF strongholds because what other explanation is there for beating 75-year-olds in their homesteads?
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi on Tuesday said police had arrested Never Chimutashu (67) in connection with the violence in Murewa.
However, Abton Mashayanyika, a ZANU PF official from Mberengwa who was filmed in 2022 urging ZANU PF supporters to kill CCC leader Nelson Chamisa, his children and supporters ahead of the 2023 elections has not been arrested. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/murehwa-ccc-attack-opposition-blames-utterances-by-mnangagwa-and-chiwenga/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>

CCC Blames "Utterances" By Mnangagwa And Chiwenga For Murewa North Violence

ZANU PF Mashonaland East chairperson Daniel Garwe has condemned the assault of several elderly Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) members in Murewa North constituency last week.
Morris Seremani (74), Susan Seremani (56), Beauty Chikoti (52), Chipo Mutizwa (37), Nyaradzai Chitauro (52), Sekuru Dongo (79) and Munyaradzi Dongo (38) were left with injuries after they were assaulted for allegedly supporting CCC.
The assault occurred in Chirowa Village, Murewa North.
Addressing ZANU PF supporters on Tuesday at Matututu shopping centre in Murewa North, Garwe said:
<blockquote>
My colleagues, I am pained by what happened in this area. It’s something nobody here can explain what transpired because we were not all there. We said experts should go and investigate.
ZANU PF does not tolerate violence, it’s a peaceful party. That’s the only party that brought peace, there’s no other party.
In some countries you hear about terrorists and bombings, here there is peace. This peace was brought by ZANU PF.
President [Emmerson Mnangagwa] is today preaching that we should live in peace, forgive each other, and get united. The war veterans say “united we conquer”.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/law-society-of-zimbabwe-statement-on-murewa-north-political-violence/">in a statement issued on Wednesday</a>, the Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) accused some political parties of making insincere public pronouncements against political violence, saying this will not end the vice.
LSZ said politicians must stop speaking with forked tongues, declaring a commitment to a violent free election by day while coaxing their supporters to terrorise citizens by night. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200006034/ccc-members-assault-pained-me-garwe">NewsDay</a>

Garwe Condemns Murewa North Violence

<h2>Full statement by the Law Society of Zimbabwe on the escalation of political violence in the country.</h2>
<blockquote>
The Law Society of Zimbabwe, notes with grave concern reports of what seems to be an escalation of political violence in some parts of the country.
A particular incident is of a recording that is circulating on social media showing some senior citizens being beaten up for what appears to be their choice of political affiliation in Mashonaland East’s Murewa district.
While police have indicated publicly that they are investigating the case and have issued an update on the progress made to date, it is important that stakeholders raise the red flag immediately in order to have such deplorable conduct nipped in the bud. This is even more so given that we are in an election year.
The outbreak of violence is disconcerting to anyone who wishes Zimbabwe well. The scourge of political violence has continued to be a blot on our electoral processes for decades and given indications of political will to end it, it is important that decisive action be taken now to end it.
The Law Society of Zimbabwe on behalf of the profession, calls on all political leaders to commit to non-violence not only in word but also in deed.
Insincere public pronouncements against political violence will not end the vice. Politicians must stop speaking with forked tongues, declaring a commitment to a violent free election by day while coaxing their supporters to terrorise citizens by night.
Zimbabwe now more than ever needs its leaders across the political divide to show maturity and leadership.
If the country is to reap the rewards of the country’s engagement and re-engagement thrust as espoused by the government, it is important that all actions are synchronised to achieve the goals of this policy.
The right to political choice is deeply engrained in our constitution and no one has a right to vary it at a whim.
We urge police to act with speed to bring to account those implicated in the Murewa violence as a way of sending a clear message to all and sundry against such actions.

Law Society Of Zimbabwe Statement On Murewa North Political Violence | Full Text

Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for East and Southern Africa, Flavia Mwangovya, has condemned the brutal attacks against opposition Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) supporters by suspected ZANU PF activists in Murewa North recently.
Mwangovya described the attacks as “callous” and urged the Zimbabwean government to ensure that the upcoming general elections are held in a peaceful environment. Said Mwangovya:
<blockquote>
This callous, politically motivated attack against older people who had simply attended a gathering for a political opposition party is outrageous.
Such cruel acts of violence, which have repeatedly marred Zimbabwe’s political landscape in the past, gravely threaten the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly.
These attacks are clearly intended to harass and intimidate members of the political opposition in the months leading up to Zimbabwe’s upcoming election and could have a chilling effect throughout the country.
The Zimbabwean authorities must take all necessary steps to prevent acts of politically motivated violence and refrain from issuing inflammatory statements that could incite similar attacks or deter people from expressing support for the political parties of their choice.
Authorities must launch a thorough, independent and impartial investigation and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.
The Zimbabwean authorities must also urgently launch a thorough, independent and impartial investigation into these assaults and ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice in fair trials.
They must also fully respect and protect the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly in the lead-up to, during, and after the upcoming election.
</blockquote>
<h2>Background</h2>
