Armed soldiers led by Major Muti Musakwa last night forcibly removed property and goods belonging to MDC Zvimba West district treasurer, James Jonga. Jonga runs a supermarket at Murombedzi growth point in Zvimba, Mashonaland West province. Last night the soldiers ransacked and looted groceries in his shop saying he should vacate the premises as he was an MDC official. The soldiers were also incensed on why Jonga had made a contribution during the Constitution-making outreach meeting held in the area last week.
