Two opposition activists aligned with Advocate Nelson Chamisa were attacked by State Security agents in Bulawayo on Saturday.

The activists, Arnold Batirai Dube and Takunda Madzana, are now on the run as they are being pursued by State Security agents in connection with the March 31 protests.

War veteran Blessed Geza had previously announced that protests against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s third-term agenda would take place at the end of the month.

In an interview with ZimEye.com on Monday, Batirai Dube shared his experience: “We are currently on the run. On Saturday, eight State Security agents assaulted me, punching and slapping me while demanding to know the whereabouts of Gift Ostallos Siziba. I told them I had no knowledge of his location.”

He continued, “They grabbed my phone and searched it, also punching me in the ribs. I somehow managed to escape. I am afraid to go home because I know they are looking for me.”

Madzana also expressed his fear, saying, “I am terrified for my life because government agents are searching for me. They are accusing me of organizing the March 31 protests.”
