Thursday, July 18, 2024 - A troubling video has emerged allegedly depicting the Zanu-PF chairman for Mutasa district in Zimbabwe engaged in a v!olent altercation with his wife over $5 intended for his beer.
The video, widely circulated on social
media, captures an intense physical confrontation between the chairman, whose
identity remains undisclosed, and his spouse, both visibly injured and bleeding
from the mouth.
In the background, a woman’s voice
pleads for the altercation to cease, but her appeals go unheeded. The video
suggests underlying issues beyond the monetary dispute.
Responding to the incident, Farai
Marapira, Zanu-PF's director of information, denounced the actions depicted in
the video. He emphasized the ruling party’s stance against violence, echoing
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s unwavering policy on the matter.
“What is shown in the video
constitutes clear domestic violence. Zanu-PF’s position on all forms of
violence is unequivocal and aligns with the repeated statements of His
Excellency, President E. D. Mnangagwa. We do not tolerate any form of violence
and urge all citizens, including our members, to seek peaceful resolutions to
disputes,” Marapira declared.
He assured the public that Zanu-PF
would conduct its own investigation into the incident and cooperate fully with
law enforcement.
“As a party, we conduct thorough
investigations into allegations of misconduct involving our members. Zanu-PF
members are held to the highest standards of legal compliance. We unequivocally
condemn such behavior and will abide by the findings of police investigations,”
Marapira added.
The incident underscores ongoing
concerns about domestic violence within Zimbabwean communities and the need for
swift and decisive action to address such issues.
