Zanu PF chefs jailed for kidnapping

Kadoma — Two Zanu PF aspiring candidates in the July 31 Kadoma council elections and three other party members who kidnapped two little girls with the intention of killing them for ritual purposes ahead of the elections have been jailed.

Chipo Muradi (54) and Dominic Musapurwa (56), both losing council candidates in Kadoma’s wards 17 and 11 respectively for Zanu PF, were convicted of two counts of kidnapping together with Zanu PF Waverly district chairperson Odrina Gwengwe (51), Kaise Ncube (69) and Joyce Watyoka (50).

Zanu PF’s legendary belief in traditional remedies is well documented in the Chinhoyi diesel saga in which a traditional healer, Rotina Mavhunga, duped top Zanu PF government ministers into believing pure diesel could come out of a rock.
