Diasporans launch fund for Nyatsime violence victims
DIASPORANS under the Zimbabwe Solidarity Network (ZSN) banner have launched a crowd-funding initiative to raise US$100 000 for victims of political violence whose homes were burnt and their families displaced following violent clashes between Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) supporters and suspected Zanu PF members at Moreblessing Ali’s funeral in Nyatsime three weeks ago.
Ali, a known CCC activist, was abducted in Nyatsime and her mutilated body was found two weeks later in the area.
The four victims — Misheck Guzha, Precious Jeche, Audious Makoma and Felix Biri — are currently on remand at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison on violence charges.
The funds raised through the initiative are meant to either build or purchase new homes for the victims and provide financial support to incarcerated party members and their families.
