A 35 year-old woman from Buhera is recovering at a private clinic in Mutare after 21 Zanu-PF youths put a gun to her head and took turns to rape her.
The gang rape described as ‘horrible’ by the MDC spokesman in Manicaland, Pishai Muchauraya took place over the weekend at Barawara torture base in Buhera central.

Doctors said Memory Mufambi is still too traumatised to talk about her ordeal but managed to detail the degrading incident to local MDC officials who rushed her to Mutare for urgent medical help.
Muchauraya said Mufambi narrated that her crime was that she voted for the MDC during the harmonised elections and the gang rape was revenge for that.

‘Some of what happened to her is too graphic to be repeated anyway. But a gun was used to subject her to this unspeakable crime. We pray the gang spared her life but otherwise if caught one day these men should rot in prison,’ Muchauraya said.
