President Chamisa dispatched a team of National leaders led by SG Hwende for a solidarity visit to Makomborero Haruzivishe’s family in Buka, Masvingo. During the visit the team briefed them on the welfare and legal support plan for Mako before joining them for harvesting in the fields. The family is resolute and in full support of Mako’s quest for a free Zimbabwe.

The team led by SG Hwende comprised of the Organising Sec Hon Chibaya and his deputy Hon Zwizwayi , Mayor Jacob Mafume , Secretary for Rural Strategy Hon Bvondo Chidziva, Youth Assembly Chairperson Obey Sithole, Women’s Assembly Chairperson Sen Mugido, Secretary for Welfare Maureen Kademaunga, Harare Province Chairperson Hon. Chikombo & Masvingo Province led by Sen. Marava, Clr Mutubuki & others.
The team spent the day with Makomborero’s family and took time to brief them on the party’s legal and welfare plan for Mako. The delegation also joined the family in the fields. Mako’s family were in good spirits and remain strong in the face of the unjust persecution of their son whom they testified to be a peace loving and selfless young man.
Makomborero’s mother explained that while visiting the family in December, Mako told the family that he would continue to speak truth to power even though he was aware that imprisonment of opposition leaders was on the rise. He said that should he be arrested they must stay strong and hopeful and understand that he was being persecuted for fighting for a free and equal society. Mr Haruzivishe, Mako’s father, was thankful of the party’s concern and urged the party to continue to be ceased with the welfare of all imprisoned. Mako’s grandfather drew parallels between Mako’s persecution with his own persecution which he experienced when he was MDC councillor of ward 13 while Mako’s grandmother said that Mako’s imprisonment has strengthened her resolve, she urged the party leadership to remain strong and unwavering.
Currently 12 MDC Alliance leaders and members are in prison being held as political prisoners. The MDC Alliance continues to call for the unconditional release of all political prisoners and the nullification of all their charges.
