The ruling Zanu PF has disowned rowdy youths who harassed and assaulted elderly Citizens Coalition for Change members in Murehwa on Saturday, calling on the police to bring them to book.

The rowdy youths are filmed in a video, questioning why the elderly were attending an opposition party meeting.

In a statement, Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial chairperson Daniel Garwe said that the police should investigate and arrest the culprits.

“Apart from the disgusting physical abuse captured in the video, the province is disturbed by allegations that the perpetrators are Zanu PF members acting on behalf of unidentified bosses.

“As a province, we urge all citizens to wait for accurate pronunciations from the Zimbabwe Republic Police, which is currently conducting investigations."

Garwe added that the province remained guided by the consistent call for peace and tolerance by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

“The President is on record stating that all Zimbabweans should be vigilant and maintain the stable and peaceful environment that is being fostered under the Second Republic.

“We say no to violence, disunity, and unrest and call on the police to speedily bring the perpetrators captured in the video to face the full wrath of the law,” said Garwe.
