Opposition legislator in Zimbabwe broadcasts his own kidnapping
He was later found dumped and naked in a mining area.A fast-thinking opposition legislator in Zimbabwe broadcast his own abduction via a Facebook Live feed.
"He was abducted on his way to Parliament and tortured. It's politically-motivated violence and targeted abductions," he said."All of them were injected with an unknown substance. It's a systematic way to eliminate those who differ from Zanu-PF," he said. CCC spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi said:"The continuous targeting of prominent CCC members is designed to instil fear among the generality of the populace."Scores of Zimbabweans have since called on the police to do their job. They went as far as naming the kidnappers, whose faces were clearly shown in the video.
