Masvingo (ZimEye) – A Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party activist has died from injuries he sustained after being tortured by Zanu-PF supporters.

The MDC member was tortured by Zanu-PF militia and supporters in the run-up to the bloody June 27 presidential run-off elections.

According to the Masvingo MDC provincial chairman, Wilstuf Sitemere, Costa Saliwa (29) who was a youth chairman for Ward 38, Gutu Central constituency, was thoroughly assaulted for being a polling agent in last year’s disputed elections.

Sitemere said Saliwa was admitted at Mukaro Hospital in Gutu where he was discharged although his health deteriorated and was admitted at Masvingo General Hospital where he passed away on 10 May.

“His health deteriorated from there on as he was admitted at Mukaro hospital. From there, he was continuously in and out of hospital. He was admitted at Masvingo General where he latter died on Saturday,” noted Sitemere.

Saliwa will be buried on Wednesday in Wazuka village, headman Gadzingo, in Gutu.

Zanu-PF has continued persecuting political opponents regardless of the inclusive government.
