Silas Gweshe, who stood for MDC-T in Mutoko South constituency but lost to Zanu (PF)’s Olivia Muchena, said he was evicted from a house he rented at Mutoko business centre.

“I was a tenet at Mutoko but my landlord said that I can no longer stay there because his house could be destroyed by Zanu (PF) supporters,” said Gweshe.

“I no longer have anywhere to go as people are now afraid to accommodate me at their homes while my house was burnt to the ground leaving me homeless,” he said.

Human rights groups say hardliner elements in Zanu (PF) and in the military have stepped up violence MDC supporters in recent weeks, while the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) last week called on the Southern African Development Community to deploy a mission in Zimbabwe to monitor and report on incidents of political violence in the country
