Violence broke out at Moreblessing Ali’s memorial service held in the Nyatsime area this week after alleged ZANU PF supporters stormed the event ordering mourners to change the venue.
Homes belonging to ZANU PF and CCC members were burnt in the clashes. CCC accuses ZANU PF leaders in the Nyatsime area of kidnapping and killing Ali.
