Police had to be called in at Harvest House on Saturday afternoon when a handful of youths known to be aligned to party leader Morgan Tsvangirai attacked national council member, Elton Mangoma and other cadres threatening to kill them. Police had to be called in to break the violence the second in three weeks at the MDC headquarters.
Until today the youths had been plotting violence Mangoma due to his calling for leadership renewal in the party.
In the picture- Mangoma saved from the bloody violence.

Beaten up...Elton Mangoma
Fleeing the violence…Elton Mangoma

“It is shocking that this thing actually took place right in Tsvangirai’s face and with him smiling. He never made an effort to tell his youths to back off but he remained staring at Mangoma being beaten up. It was so clear and obvious that these people were sponsored by Tsvangirai” a senior party source said.
The meeting had been called by Tsvangirai who summoned provincial heads hoping to get himself re-endorsed as party leader following the criticism.
Beaten up...Elton Mangoma
Beaten up…Elton Mangoma

However it was not a meeting at all since violent youths who were lodged at Adelite Acres the previous night controlled all proceedings in Tsvangirai’s presence without him addressing their unruly behaviour. The youths continued chanting songs denouncing both Mangoma and secretary general Tendai Biti.
At the time of writing police officers were arriving at Harvest House as the Tsvangirai youths were blocking other party members from exiting the building.
More to follow…

  1. MDC nepwere dzine nhamo.Mungadini imi mune nzara.Batai munhu murove, morova, mobva mapiwa tuma USA.Haiwawo!!Chamisa naMwonzora, Tsvangirai is like a God to them.Manje mairasa!!Bhora mugedhi.Unhu hwaTsvangirai is questionable.Biti has seen it and others.Zim lacks an alternative vibrate opposition party.MDC yaTsvangirai ave mamvemve.Mirai muone.Haafi akatonga nyika yeZimbabwe.Chamisa kani, hauone mukuru wako adzina kukwana.Uchaziwa hako.

  2. It’s obvious that Tshwangison is a the weak link in the MDC, he had repeatedly failed his supporters, with his actions, utterances and failures. Mangoma is right to demand a leadership change, Tshwangison has outlived his usefulness. Political competition is healthy, but voters deserve a more qualitative alternative. The current MDC leadership have proven that they are just all about self-enrichment and that already disqualifies them as potential national leadership. If the MDC wants to have any serious chance at rattling the cage of the ruling party, they should weed out the rot in the system (the current leadership) and re-stategise.

  3. JONGWE JONGWE JONGWE!!!!
    JONGWE VAKURU
    LET ME START BY SAYING THIS. CAN ANY ONE ANSWER THIS. Why and how come Kay has not been attacked since he is one of the people who raised the concern on Morgan. They called him a RUSTY BOLT. He has decided to attack his own black party colleagues.
    If Morgan was going to attack the two white then the outside world would focus on the issue and no funds will be going towards the MDC anymore. But already there is confusion. The whites are confused with this incident.
    MORGAN>THAT WAS A WRONG MOVE IF ITS U WHO PLANNED THIS.
    Secondly, there is a clear sign if MDC is to go into power there will be no democracy. A clear sign that Morgan you don’t accept defeat.
    IF YOU GET TO THE END OF THE FIRST TRACK GIVE SOMEONE A STICK IF YOU CANT BEAT THE OTHER PERSON.
    IN ZANUPF THERE WILL NEVER BE SUCH DRAMA EVEN IF THERE ARE DIFFERNCES. IN FAMILIES BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALWAYS HAVE TENSIONS MINOR OR MAJOR TO A CERTAIN EXTENT BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO PARADE TO THE WORLD. YOU NEED TO MATURE POLITICALY BEFORE YOU THINK OF RULING. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

  4. Van Guzha ndoska makauraya nyika nemedieval political thinking.Hanzi ruling the country.You don’t rule but lead.Ruling is of autocracies sewe nakamudhara kako kopfekedzwa macardbox kumashure kuto trousers iite shape

  5. tsvangirai is an uneducated thug. How was he going rule the nation if he can’t manage his dying party. Ngaende anoteya mbeva kuBuhera. Good for nothing fellow.

  6. the Revolution is now devouring its owm offspring. shame on you Tsvangirai. you are a useless sex-monger; a merchant of violence; you talk; live and eat violence. you are worse than Zanu Pf.shame.nxaaa

  7. Vose vanotevera nyaya iyi can agree with mee kuti Tino akati before 15 February ZANU want to kill Mangoma then taint Tsvangirai.Hezvoka izvo.SAKA Tino ndiani? anenge ane nyaya munhu uyu
    Mangoma chidoteerera uchirega kupaparika.Democracy is there , no one will kill it but life is lived once

  8. what have you done to my ‘CA’my Financial Director, kutopfeka madabudabu like this, even mfana wepagadeni haatombovhumi ku pfeka shirt yakadai.
    VaMangoma asichii ko chef makuratizda the whole world matumbu ese so!!!!politics maonethousand chaiwo.

  9. politics is a dirty game.unfortunately kuno its a self enriching endeavour.l wouldnt give a hoot if mangoma had died achirohwa and lm not surprised by tsvangirai’s reaction.if all these politicians were my chickens l would put them all in one place and set it on fire.toziva kuti huku hakuchina zvachose.nxaaa

  10. That is a total lie that Morgan did not do anything…he is the one who had to dispurse the crowd himself and both Mangoma and Biti had to hide with Morgan and they used Tsvangirai’s benz to flee away from the mob…but actualy its saddening how these guys had been going behind Morgan and plotting their evil gimmicks..they were even the negotiators of GPA they led Jomic but all in bad faith…they tried to buy these District chairpersons ,creating their prallel structures ,starving off the real structures of the funding they needed.nxaaa zvinonzwisa tsitsi throwing this whole struggle into the bin here amana.

  11. President RG Mugabe anointed by God to lead not only Zimbabwe and Africa but the entire world out of the devil possessed greed anglo_saxon driven world the people who don’t know their boundaries

  12. Police should stop harassing people like Cuthbert Dube and deal with these MDC culprits. These culprits are being sponsored by western countries to destabilize the country icho!

  13. silungisani has missed it Iam not supporting what the youth has done asi iye mangoma is largely to blame zvinhu zvinofanirwa kutaurrwa zvichiteverwa. maproper chanels iye womanya kumapapers ndopolitical mileage yaaitsvagaka. kana akauya kwaGutu anodyiwa achifamba. iye aka dyisa party aka nzi kudini

  14. same same naBob alongsyd Madzore.Akaita president chinoita chikwekwe.Muzukuru waIdi Amini Abacha Milosovick.nxaaaa

  15. Morgan Tsvangirai is a violent Leader…his true colours are now out…”MUGABE MUST-BE REMOVED BY FORCE” those were his words somrtimes Years ago….now he is turning against his people who put him up there……..

  16. There is nothing unusual here to say the least. Given all the that have been brewing for a long time in the party this is expected and is a result of latent intro-party conflicts that have gone for long unresolved.
    I could see it coming in one way or the other. Hatisati takura in the democratic process and so it’s still a long way to go for us and as a result this is what happens. Having said that, and reading between the lines, I would like to believe ZANU PF has a hand in all this as MDC remain the only opposition of equal threat in the absence of rigging and intimidation for people to vote for it. ZANU PF had celebrated in advance the scandals that Tsvangirai had found himself in and thought he had been completely destroyed yet they see he keeps clinging on to power.
    They have strategically planted chaotic elements from within and this is helping in bringing more turmoil in the party, but this is not to say Tsvangirai is smart in all this. He is still and interested figure in leading the party and will try in every way possible to remain so, but to wholly think it’s all coming from him is not true. If Tsvangirai is to go then the entire leadership should go, I believe they failed as a team and they should just let the leadership rise from the lower ranks, without hope of dislodging ZANU PF in the near future of cause. For anyone within the MDC to dream of leading the party in 2018 and defeat ZANU is unthinkable.
    People should look beyond what they feel. If the point is to dislodge ZANU PF then there is need to rally behind the current leadership, re-build confidence in the people, re-brand and fight for a common cause let the party win elections and then let the current leadrship leave office. That’s how I see it.
    To think that you can form a new political party to mobilise support and win against ZANU PF is a dream that will remain lodged in the pipepline. It’s gonna be ZANU for the next 50 years from now.

  17. Sawu, Sawu , Sawu, i salute you my man.Harvest house is at the centre of the city.It is 200 metres from Herald Offices.So why didnt they just pictures of the Harvest House and the commotion and assault which happened.With a lot of people having 4G technology, i am sure, dead sure some people filmed the event.So can you please give us the shots , with Tsvangirai present, encouraging the violence.The picture of Mangoma was taken where he was braaing, drinking , until he fell down toring his shirt.The picture is not of someone beaten, but of someone, a snake in grass.
    Please i wish people could be like Sawu, who first analyse the issue before just rambling.Once again, no amount of infiltration will be allowed to tear us apart.Those who want to go, you can go.Thts when you will see how Tsvangirai is supported by the people.The Bitis , Mangomas are day dreaming.Grassroots do not even know them.How are they going to sell their image in a polarised media? Rember , the two famous faces in Zimbabwe are Mugabe and Tsvangirai, like it or not.With your 15 degrees ,Masters and Doctorates, you have to swallow your pride.Tsvangirai , as a person , has his weaknesses.But as an organisation, we will never be swayed by Bit, who also got corrupted by Gono with cash, and now its payback time to Gono.Biti must represent Gono in the Gono-Kereke issue.Guys, dont play with fire.To me , you are the educated uneducated.Just check on the social media, 80% plus are saying a big no to you aspirations.This 80% is the well to do people with access to media technology.What more the ordinary, who have cemented Tsvangirai in their hearts?Pathetic guys!!!!!Swallow your pride.We will never ditch our trusted leader for people who always seek safe seats in urban constituencies.Lets see, we are waiting.

  18. Arohwa here kana kuti abvarurwa shirt? ko ku swera ku photo shoot pane kuenda ku hospital,zvakaitwa na Tsvangirai paaka dashurwa

  19. Mr Editor this is the worst crap I have ever read on this website
    “Blue lies Mr editor”
    and I quote,”This took place right in Tsvangirayi’s face with him smiling” Surely you must take us for fools.
    Still no-one has been arrested.

  20. This is not Chematama’s problem, the problems lies in the deep rooted african perspective of power and authority. Everyone shud listen to me and do as I say, no one shud oppose me, when people genuinely tell you your time is up, they dnt want to get rid of you but jus need new ideas. When the youth who in their capacity are supposed to safeguard the interests of the party as well as promoting new ideas and focus keep holding to old ways of thinking then an overhaul is imminent.
    What is the International community going to say on this, that the democratic movement for change has now transformed to a violence movement.
    Now you will cause pple to divert from corruption issues that are bedevling our country. Rongekai veduwee

  21. The biginning of problem after kilinging eaach other they wiil give probleme to. An inocent old man R G M. Wish him long LIFE

  22. Tsvangirai has indeed learnt a lot fm Bob unfortunately non of wat he hd learnt is of any relevance in as far as solving our country crisis.

  23. Do u know where Harare gardens is? Harare central police is nearer than Harare gardens. When u r in danger do u rush to a park or police station? Zimeye should have used a better picture taken at the scene than to use a picture taken one kilometer from the scene

  24. Mangoma wamhanyisa, but sorry hako. Nyaya ndeyekuti Hongu Tsvangirai angaende hake but Ko iwewo you are part of the team yakatadza. Saka ibvawo pachigaro. Fair?

  25. brainwashed…Tato if you are being beaten up do you just stand there till you get pictures of you taken…or do you try get the hell out of the place…so are you saying when someone is being beaten photographers cannot follow him when he is running away….just a little sense of imagination goes a long way.

  26. Something is not adding up here. The background of that picture i think it’s Harare gardens a park. Does it mean mango a ran from harvest house he to be photographed in that park? Either the story is not true or a wrong picture was just through to a wrong story

  27. mangoma amama , dai vamuuraya pamhata pake kuda kuvhiringa musangano, why cant he go to zanu or form his part. As for me I will not vote MDC without Tsvangirai, I am sure millions will not as well. LETS REMOVE MUGABE FIRST THEN WE WORRY ABOUT OTHER THINGS,,

  28. I have a long period stated that this party was led by a group of psychopath with a love for violence. There we go! They have no shame to bea their own for expressing their democratic opinion. If they ever get into power, what will Zim face;any freedom of speech? I certainly believe none will ever be tasted unde these guys. If they can beat their own and even murder some whilst blaming Zanu youths and state agents, we are in great trouble.

  29. Iwe Murehwa Mukuru, uri murehwa like your name suggests wanga uripo her uchiti this never happened…..ndimi vakadzi vaGumbura muri brain washed haikona….Mangoma was assualted along with Promise Mkwananzi and a couple others….iwe busy kuti it never happened….now this is going to be Live on BBC magwana handiti ndizvo zvamaita kana Tea Boy arohwa ne ma supposedly Zanuist….Wake up mhani…

  30. They is something fish going on within MDC T.Someone is being paid to disrupt the party. Tsvangirai remains a threat to the ruling party.The Machiavellian politics is at play here.That is, opposition political parties should be taken as enemies, hence should be destroyed if there are a threat to the one in power or the ruling party.NOTE Harvest House is at the middle of town so the background of that picture of Elton Mangoma betrayed you Editor

  32. Zimeye can lie like they are possessed. There is nothing like this that happened today. Mdc people will never be violent to this extent. Whatever u want to achieve, u wont succeed. We knew it from yesterday that, some media houses will cook stories out of this
