Violence rocks Gutu West

HUMAN rights watchdogs have raised alarm over a spike in cases of political violence against opposition supporters in Gutu West constituency in Masvingo where there is a by-election tomorrow.

Elections in the constituency could not be held on August 23 following the death of one of the nominated candidates, Christopher Mutonhori Rwodzi of Zanu PF.

Zanu PF candidate John Paradza, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) member Ephraim Morudu, Sebastian Mudzingwa (Independent) and Robson Kurwa of the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) are eyeing the constituency.
