The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T)’s Vice President has been caught up in a messy situation.
Elias Mudzuri, the VP of MDC-T is reported to have caused the death of Ronald Mukumbira. Mukumbira is said to have been at Duriro Pub & Grill in Workington, Harare. He is said to have been attacked following a dispute over missing pool table balls. The bar is owned by VP Mudzuri.
The said assault victim reportedly told his mother and brother that he was attacked by Elias Mudzuri and his brother Leonard Mudzuri, among other unnamed men. He died on June 10 2021, three days after the assault is said to have taken place.
Relatives of the deceased are said to have taken the coffin with the body to Mudzuri’s home. Apparently, the family is furious that the police haven’t arrested Mudzuri, however a post-mortem carried out seems to not link the death with the assault. Nonetheless, the victim’s mother insists that the pathologist had written that the issue needed to be investigated.
Mukumbira’s death is reportedly still under investigation. However, the late’s family is worried that the police will not arrest the alleged perpetrators given their political status.
This is not the first time that a member of the MDC-T party has made headlines. This year alone several others have given rise to speculation as they switched to Zanu PF.
