CCC blames police over violence

THE opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has blamed lack of police presence at their rallies as a major reason for electoral violence.

This comes after their campaign rallies that were held in Chivi and Gokwe-Nembudziya over the weekend were marred by politically-motivated violence.

The CCC party claims that the violence began after their meetings were disrupted by Zanu PF supporters, while the ruling party also claims that its supporters were beaten up by CCC activists in Chivi and Gokwe-Nembudziya.
