(Harare)A Zanu-PF legislator for Mudzi West, Aqualinah Katsande, is under the spot light for the crime of obstruction of justice on the murder of MDC-T local chairman, Mr Cephas Magura.
The Zanu-PF legislator who last week blamed the MDC-T party for Magura’s death, sparked international outrage after she claimed to know the exact precise cause of Magura’s death stating that he had died of a car accident instead, a claim the professional autopsy proved to be completely untrue.
Katsande had claimed:
‘It is not true that he was killed by our supporters, but fell off their moving vehicle’.
“Our youths were having their own meeting in a hall at Chimukoko when a group of MDC supporters, who were holding their meeting at a nearby ground, invaded our meeting and this was provocation. It resulted in the youths fighting,” she said.
“We have our members who were injured and we took them to hospital. We also reported the matter to the police.”
“The MDC supporters were outnumbered in the fight and they fled from the scene and drove away in their truck and one of their members who was seated in the back of the truck fell and hit his head on the ground resulting in his death.
“It is not true that he was killed by our supporters, but fell off their moving vehicle,” she said.
Katsande is now under the spot-watch of even ZANU PF gurus as comments were made by Oppah Muchinguri rubbishing her claims and stating that Magura’s death was indeed caused by brute murder.
The legislator is also slated with a controversial history of crimes against humanity. Her son, George Katsande orchestrated violence in 2008 presidential runoff elections and thereafter, leading to Mudzi being recorded as an area with most political motivated killings.
A legendary historian who built ZANU PF’s international image in 1977, Daina Mitchel, once wrote in her blog about Ms Katsande:
“A blog for today can only say that I have read of the crass brutality of one Aquilina Katsande in Zim’s violently led ZANU (PF) and am horrified. I am regretful that it is likely that I shall not live long enough to see this woman and her ilk brought to account in this world. There is not much else one can say so long as the current regime rules,” wrote Mitchel who built and shaped Zanu PF’s international image when Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo were still regarded as terrorists.
This week MPs began a motion for the possible arrest of Aqualinah Katsande (Mudzi West) together with Newten Kachepa (who is MP for Mudzi North).
Eyewitnesses told the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee (Jomic) last week that Kachepa’s pick-up truck and Katsande’s Mazda T3500 truck were used to ferry Zanu PF activists involved in the disruption of the police-sanctioned MDC-T rally and the attack on the party supporters that led to the murder of Magura.
Kadoma Central MP Editor Matamisa (MDC-T) called for the immediate arrest of Katsande and Kachepa. Glen View North MP Fani Munengami (also MDC-T) said Katsande even had “the guts” to lie saying the murdered MDC-T activist died
after he fell from a moving vehicle. “I am surprised that Katsande, a female MP, had the guts to say the person who died in Mutoko fell from a truck, and it’s a disgrace Kachepa, one of the MPs implicated, is in this House with us and I am challenging him to explain how those things happened in his constituency and how his vehicle was used to block and ferry people,” Munengami said.
“The two MPs are good at killing but have never contributed to any debate in the House and unless they are brought to book and explain what exactly happened, this House will continue labelling them killers.”
Aquillina Katsande case on Magura’s death will continue to haunt her as it is now being used by the United Nations as pivotally defining, just as the body prepares to setup a possible remote human rights centre.

Mukadota ah shamwari ndaseka hunzi Shrek look alike girlfriend, never the less this is a serious subiect and Criminal Zanus must hang for this starting with Shrek Katsande for her part in the murder of this poor innocent man.
The guy really has some crackers up his arrsse.
Mukadog, the amount of your stupidy is quite sickening. By copying and pasting the above garbage retreived from the mdc press full of shameless lies, you have proved to be a useless brain dead sellout with no valuable imput to the society. To start with, l’m not a SEX KING like your charcoal coloured ugly gay leader Tsvangay to be accused of bedding Cde Katsande. Secondly, the statement issued by Cde Katsande was not directed to the police but to the press after being asked for comment. ZRP is a professional force which does not carry out investigations using press comments or many people would have been arrested for issuing out “reckless comments” including you. Like l’ve already said, the above allegations by you lacks substance, it is a heap of rubbish and that you are stupid Mukadog
Iwe Meva what ever your name is what other facts would you want when she makes statements that prejudice herself moreso having a criminal history that has not been investigated. The two of you are insensitive pricks, yes for now she is not going to be investigated we all know that but believe me her turn will come. We only ridicule your idiocy and how brain dead you are.
Yes Meva Ogague you are quite right and many thanks, infact thats the status quo, she has no case to answer and will not be arrested. I always get all sorts of ridicule from these mdc goons and if l retaliate, everyone accuses me of being foul mouthed. Ndinenge ndichida kurova chaiko imbwa idzi.
But what does the Autopsy report say? Obviously it points to murder and it does not take rocket science to conclude who are the culprits. Bla Miki we know that you and Katsande were busy canoodling doing your chimurenga struggle in your bedroom decorated with ZANU-PF memorabilia. But tell your shrek look alike girlfriend that the statements she made after the murder are not only prejudicial but also questionable considering that police investigations have not been completed. She orchestrated a reign of terror in the period April to June 2008, she was so thorough in her persecution of known MDC activist that she personally moved around the entire Mudzi district hunting for her quarry and was present when most heart rending punishments were meted out on MDC activists in her constituency at the height of the Presidential run off campaigns in 2008 , her son George Katsande joined in the fray, he teamed up with the notorious killer Bramwell Katvsairo and took to the perpetration of violence like a duck to water and has never stopped since. On January 1, 2010 George Katsande now a seasoned killer was roaming the area armed with a gun, following in the footsteps of her equally vicious mother Aquilinah, attacked at Rukonde School in Mudzi. This group of assailants was reported to be very ruthless they indiscriminately bashed him. Even his children were not spared, they were beaten up as George Katsande in the true spirit of his mother displayed his wrath of aggression. George was accompanied by Asmore Simoko, Tichafa Kativhu, Josiah Nyamuda, Punzu Charles , Martin Mutaundi, Daniel Chitedega, Misheck Pengapenga, Dinga David, Solomon Chingwete, Tonde Chipwanya and four other unknown men.
On 6 April 2008 Aquilinah Katsande and Peter Nyakuba the local Zanu PF councilor called for a rally at Bensen Mine where the MP for Mudzi West Aqualinah Katsande informed Zanu PF supporters that they should assault all MDC supporters who had campaigned for Morgan Tsvangirai in the March 29 elections. She added that,” these beatings were meant to compel them to rejoin Zanu PF, if any of the MDC supporters foolishly resist kill them all, we have been granted authority by the president to kill MDC supporters”. Immediately after this rally Zanu PF youths and war veterans went on the war path, many MDC supporters were brutally assaulted, homes were destroyed and livestock forcibly taken for food, to feed comrades at the torture bases.
Bla Miki you are PURE EVIL, and you belong in HELL.
Can someone just put facts to challenge Bla miki instead of just calling him names, insulting him with all the insults that one’s vocabulory permits. He says there is no reason to arrest or charge the MPs. Apart form insults and just hate and tribalism can someone proove him stupid on this one?
Just another lieing, thieving, uneducated shona idiot who believes her own lies!!! Shona killing Shona – so what’s all the fuss about, we read about it every day!
Greyhora how pretty or beautiful is/was your own mother vakakumama/kukudhota iwe? Shut up you greyhound dog.
Surely she has sparked international outrage for what she said? why is that those who talk of collateral damage when innocent whole families are killed by invading forces never spark international outrage? Editor pfutseki mhani! Unofunga nezasi here kana nekumusoro?
Good luck Cde Chegotsi for being elevated into the executive. But how come you miss these two witches Tete and Xolani?
Please musafire rungire. (what ever that means). The elections are still far away. Imi maakutoyambana. Its too early zvekudushana izvi. Eish, ndaa muexecutive, and time is no longer available for defending the revolution on this site. I miss you all the same, especially Tete and Xolani. Is it true that Tete is actually Locardia Tembo? If so , I hope you swank that cheating fat face and sue for millions in compensation for cheating and public humiliation. Maybe he may get out of our sight like Pious Ncube. Pa later or tommorrow.
Let’s give the courts a chance and let the logical hand of law do the rest. If the 60yrs+ was really stoned this is very wrong the man was a senior citzen mdc or not
All people were created in the image of God and in his eyes, there is no one who is beautiful or ugly except in the wicked eyes of the mdc and the Anglo Saxons. Those who murdered the late traitor and former dzakutsaku Magura are already in custody. The MP, Aquillina Katsande was not anywhere near the scene of “instant justice” by Zanu pf youths and what she said when asked for comment was purely second hand information from those who were at the scene of this mdc provoked violence. She did not in anyway bar or obstruct the police investigations in any way and therefore cannot be tried for anything.
She is pretty by our Dzimbabwe standards
Ihave said this and will repeat, ZANU has no respect for the sancity of life. To them a life of anyone outside the corridors of ZANU is worthless. Not even comparable even to houseflies. Just look at teh comments of some idiots and bloody ogres like Chando. It gives you the mentality of all of them. From Mugabe to the new birthed. They have no respect for life, none at all. No conscience, none at all. They kill, they maim. They have no respect for life, including their women. Yes, Joice Mujuru included. Look how they behave when cornered. Aparty of bloody thugs.
Damn! These Zanu PF women could win Miss Ugly Contest, kuipa here uko? The only career fitting for that thing in that picture is a Zanu PF MP and a murderer.. you can’t have that thing anywhere else. I wonder what the husband Bla Dog Miki looks like, Miki Dog, tell that son of yours George that we shall put you, that thing and him in the same cell at Chikurubi where you can practice your satanic orgies…
Arresting her for saying that ex- Pfumorevanhu fell from a moving truck? Idiots.
Zanu.pf is a killing machine. . .vampires they thirst for the sweet MDC blood.
Y do u want to arrest them leave them alone they did a gud maShona savage killing job
Time will run out for these cock sure over confident zanu muppets. The day of your punishment by peace loving democratic Zimbabweans will surely come.
Bla Miki we hear that Katsande is your wife, she will take the gongs for Miss Ugly. And we hear that is where you get your bedroom grooming of wanting the taste of MDC blood and murders during you sex games.
Katsande must be arrested, tried and jailed for obstructing the course of justice. Zanu PF must put their act together and pretend they are against violence by getting her behind the bars, if they want to gain any credibility ahead of the elections. Perhaps their swift action to curb violence could make it possible to hold elections.
