Beatific Gumbwanda
CHIREDZI – After being unsettled
by residents’ overwhelming response to the national shutdown last week, the
local Joint Operations Committee (JOC) summoned MDC leaders and activists,
accusing them of forcing businesses to close.
MDC Alliance provincial spokesperson,
Dusty Zivhave, independent political activist Simbarashe Baloyi and MDC supporter
Brighton Dzvova were summoned for allegedly threatening business and warning
them not to open.
Zivhave told TellZim News in a
phone interview that he was shocked when he was called to explain what he said
were false allegations that he forced businesses not to open on the three days
of the stay away.
“I, Dzvova and Baloyi were summoned
at once. The issue was that we threatened business owners at the bus terminus to
close their shops. The Dispol first indicated that he condemned any acts of
violence before accusing us of engaging in violence.
“I told them to stop basing their
allegations on unverified facts and that I had never been to the bus terminus for
the past three weeks. I told them we only had a meaningful discussion on a non-violent
stay away which is what happened in Chiredzi,” said Zivhave.
Chiredzi responded peacefully to
the national stay away as all businesses in the CBD, the bus terminus and
locations were brought to a halt for two days, with children being sent back
from school.
