The week was riddled with hurdles for the opposition party leader Nelson Chamisa. Pictures and videos of the assault of Nelson Chamisa’s convoy in Masvingo has lead to the Go Fund Me account in question.
Zanu PF Deliberately PuttingĀ Chamisa At Risk?
Nelson Chamisa’s supporters have since blamed the ruling party Zanu PF for orchestrating the attack on Chamisa’s convoy. The MDC Alliance even called the attacks “Zanu PF-Sponsored attacks” on their social platforms. However, these allegations were denied by Zanu PF members such as Nick Mangwana.
As we approach the 2023 elections, Chamisa supporters are expecting such attacks to worsen. Resultantly, some strong supporters have decided to take, matters into their own hands and ensure that their President is well protected.
