Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF\u2019s Mabvuku Constituency candidate Scott Sakupwanya has been fingered as the one responsible for Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activist Tapfumaneyi Masaya\u2019s abduction and subsequent murder.<\/p>\n

Masaya was forcibly disappeared on Saturday while conducting door-to-door campaigns for CCC\u2019s Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi who is set to contest Sakupwanya for a second time in three months.<\/p>\n

Those identified by CCC supporters are said to be Sakupwanya\u2019s runners and supporters, with unconfirmed reports indicating the three 4\u00d74 vehicles used in the abduction belong to him.<\/p>\n

Kufahakutizwi defeated Sakupwanya in August before a dramatic recall from Parliament by Sengezo Tshabangu who claims to be CCC Interim Secretary General presented the Zanu PF gold miner with a second shot.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com at Masaya\u2019s funeral wake in Mabvuku where he resided, CCC supporters who declined to be named for fear of the police said they witnessed everything that happened on the day and knew who they were serving.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people who abducted Masaya are not new to us, they were campaigning for Sakupwanya before August\u2019s elections. These are people who chose to abduct our colleague in broad daylight so a lot of people can testify to this,\u201d said one of the residents who claims to have witnessed his capture.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that this is Sakupwanya\u2019s doing but we do not know how saying this will be interpreted by the police considering what (Job) Sikhala is going through.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knows we know that it was him and the same thugs whose names we gave to the police know that they were seen. Our hope is that the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) acts on what it has been told at least so that just is partly served.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mourners sang songs blaming Sakupwanya for Masaya\u2019s death Wednesday, Friday when NewZimbabwe.com visited his family home.<\/p>\n

Some of them urged him to come remove boreholes he drilled for the relatively dry high-density suburb and buses introduced during August\u2019s campaign trail.<\/p>\n

\u201cScott anourayisa tozviziva, kana zvarema tora zvibhorani tora zvimabhazi, Scott ucharowa nevakomana,\u201d sang the residents.<\/p>\n

(Scott is dangerous, take back your boreholes and buses, Scott you will be beaten by the boys).<\/p>\n

A handful of the opposition party\u2019s supporters have been keeping vigil at the late Pastor\u2019s home to mourn with widow Maria Zhuwawo, and their three children while also protecting them from what they claim to be marauding Zanu PF youths.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not know why they would do all this though,\u201d said CCC activist and Mabvuku resident Tonderai Dombo.<\/p>\n

\u201cMasaya was neither a senior member of this movement to have influence that could attract such a reaction. This shows that we are all in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n
